The White House confirmed that it plans to nominate Mark Calabria as the next director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

The newly sworn-in director’s first public remarks seemed to contrast with the approach of her predecessor, Mick Mulvaney, who at times questioned the role of the agency.

The Trump appointee officially took over for Mick Mulvaney as head of the agency following her Senate confirmation last week.

The administration’s reported interest in having the White House aide run Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's regulator signals a focus on constraining the mortgage giants’ role in the housing market.

Kraninger's nomination was lauded by industry groups, but vigorously opposed by consumer groups and Democratic lawmakers.

The CFPB ordered Village Capital & Investment in Henderson, Nev., to issue refunds and pay a penalty for allegedly misrepresenting the cost savings in a refi product.

Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee are expected to shine a spotlight on Trump-appointed regulators, but that light might shine brightest on one agency in particular.

An internal agency analysis says changing the name of the bureau to the BCFP, as Mulvaney wants, could cost banks, credit unions and mortgage firms $300 million. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The Democrat, who will likely head the Financial Services Committee, has signaled she'll make expanded housing opportunities for lower-income consumers a top priority.

A motion to limit debate on the nominee to run the consumer bureau passed along strictly party lines, setting the stage for her to be confirmed as early as next week.
