Trump administration lawyers deny the dismantling plans for consumer monitoring

The Trump administration denied the allegations of Monday that it aims to dismantle the Consumer Protection Office (CFPB).

Government lawyers said in a new file to the court that consumer monitoring will continue to exist, as the Union of employees and other groups seeks to stop what they described as “dismantling the sentence” of the agency.

“Modernically, the lawyers of the CFPB and other prosecutors are the procedures and others as part of a coordinated campaign by the new administration to eliminate” CFPB “.

They referred to Trump’s latest decision to nominate Jonathan Micahnan, a former board member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), to serve as a CFPB manager, and his ballet, Russell Feroy, is “a more preaching and office management.”

The Ministry of Justice added, “The most simplified and effective office is that there will be CFPB.”

The assertion apparently contradicts the comments made by President Trump and his close ally Elon Musk in recent weeks.

When asked in the Oval Office earlier this month if his goal was to completely get rid of CFPB, the president replied, “I would like to say yes because we are trying to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse.”

Musk, who had previously contacted “deletion” of consumer monitoring, and posted on his social platform X in early February, “CFPB Rip”.

The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), which represents CFPB workers, overturned earlier this month. Shortly after he assumed the position of deputy director on behalf, Vought ordered employees to stop all work and lay off dozens of employees, which raised concerns about the future of the agency.

After the Federation raised concerns that the administration was preparing to perform mass demobilization and may delete the agency’s data, the Ministry of Justice agreed to the court’s order to temporarily ban officials from the shooting without reason, deleting or removing data.

However, the government argued on Monday that the court should not give a long -term long -term matter, describing the union’s demands as “breathtaking in the scope” and encourages that CFPB still fulfills its legal responsibilities.
