The agency—an unelected regulator with a blank check—has spent much of its short life making things harder for the consumers it set out to protect.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the latest U.S. government agency to have its work halted by the Trump administration.

The agency was created to ensure fair and transparent financial services and products. Trump wants the Department of Education to be closed 'immediately.' Here's what shutting it down would mean.

Russ Vought, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), confirmed that the Trump administration has set up a "tip line" for companies to snitch on employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) who are doing their jobs despite a work stoppage order.
