The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is now operating remotely after an email from COO Adam Martinez instructed D.C. employees to stop in-person work indefinitely. This change follows the appointment of Russell Vought as acting director. Vought has halted nearly all operations at the agency, which is crucial for consumer protections, including its supervisory functions for financial compliance. The agency's prior director, Rohit Chopra, was dismissed by President Trump, signaling potential shifts in consumer advocacy under the new administration.
Vought ordered employees to stop nearly all of the agency's work in an email on Saturday, including its supervisory activities that ensure companies are complying with the law.
On Sunday, employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau received an email from Adam Martinez, the agency's chief operating officer, telling DC-based employees to work remotely next week.
