Lawsuit filing details DOGE’s plans to dismantle the CFPB
SHARE

The Trump administration’s plan to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was temporarily halted by a federal judge after employees revealed the extent of the administration’s intentions to gut the agency. The administration’s strategy involved firing 95% of the agency’s workforce, ending leases, and canceling contracts, effectively reducing the CFPB to just “five men and a phone in a room.”

According to employees’ testimony submitted in a lawsuit, key functions of the CFPB, such as the consumer complaint portal, were severely impacted due to the cancellation of contracts and a stop-work order issued by acting director Russell Vought. The administration argued that they were only trying to “streamline” the agency, but insiders revealed plans to leave a mere shell of the CFPB in existence.

The administration intended to fire staff in three phases, starting with recent hires and eventually terminating the majority of employees by February 14th. The remaining employees were to be let go within 60 to 90 days. However, a court order prevented the mass firings from taking place.

Documents also revealed that the administration canceled contracts worth $200 million with outside vendors, leading to disruptions in essential services provided to the CFPB. Additionally, the administration reportedly instructed contracting officers to terminate contracts necessary for the agency’s operations.

The digital services director of the CFPB stated that Vought had personally made the decision to delete the agency’s homepage, further indicating the administration’s efforts to dismantle the CFPB. Despite the administration’s denial of claims regarding transferring funds back to the Federal Reserve, employees contradicted this statement, citing evidence of discussions about returning money to the Federal Reserve or Treasury.

As a result of the administration’s actions, key functions of the CFPB mandated by law have been severely impacted. The consumer complaint portal can only process certain submissions automatically, and the agency’s ombudsman positions are vacant or ordered not to work.

A new hearing in the lawsuit is scheduled for the following week, with 203 Democratic members of Congress submitting an amicus brief to prevent the administration from shutting down the CFPB. Meanwhile, the agency has been dismissing enforcement cases, including suits against companies like TransUnion.

In conclusion, the efforts to dismantle the CFPB have raised concerns about the agency’s ability to protect consumers and regulate the financial industry effectively. The ongoing legal battle will determine the fate of the CFPB and its crucial role in safeguarding consumers’ interests.
