Russell Vought takes the helm at CFPB, orders pause in agency activities
Vought was an architect of Project 2025. He takes over at the consumer finance watchdog as he orders a pause in most of the agency's activities, and promises to cut spending.
On February 8, 2025, Russell Vought, a former Trump administration official, was appointed as the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Upon taking the helm, Vought immediately ordered a pause in most of the agency's activities to conduct a comprehensive review of its operations, policies, and enforcement actions. This move has sparked concerns among consumer advocates who fear it could lead to a rollback of consumer protections. Critics argue that this review might be a pretext for weakening the CFPB's regulatory framework, potentially benefiting big banks and financial institutions at the expense of consumers. Supporters of Vought's decision, however, believe it's a necessary step to ensure the agency operates efficiently and within its legal bounds, focusing on reducing regulatory burdens on businesses.
