Brian Johnson will serve as the agency's acting deputy director, succeeding Leandra English, who recently said she plans to resign from the CFPB.

A new court filing suggests that Stephen Calk was named to a 13-member economic advisory team in 2016 in exchange for approving a $9.5 million loan to former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Leandra English, who sued President Trump and Mick Mulvaney last year claiming to be the rightful director of the CFPB, said Friday that she plans to resign and drop the litigation.

The agency will advise lenders on how to obtain partial exemptions from Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requirements that Congress adopted this spring.

Lawmakers want the agency to utilize two programs to help families still struggling to recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

There is yet more drama surrounding leadership of the CFPB as President Trump reportedly considers promoting Mick Mulvaney to White House chief of staff.

The Democratic congresswoman said the department under Secretary Ben Carson has turned "its back on its mission."

It is still a long shot that a rival of Mick Mulvaney's will be able to reclaim the agency's top job, but judges have raised questions over whether Mulvaney can keep the position.

Meet the new housing finance reform plan, same as the old ones. While that gives it legs, it also presents big challenges.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's structure is an infringement on the authority of the executive branch, a New York federal judge said Thursday.

The plan would end the GSE conservatorships and create an explicit federal guarantee, but it's unclear if even other parts of the Trump administration support it.

The groups applauded a proposal to establish minimum GSE capital requirements, but called for more immediate steps to release the companies from conservatorship.

The bill aimed at helping struggling homeowners also requires documentation of servicer behavior and FHFA evaluation of the services provided to borrowers.

The Democratic leader in the House raised questions about Kathy Kraninger's "qualifications to lead such an important agency."

President Trump has yet to formally name Kathy Kraninger as his choice to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but her nomination is already in trouble. That may be just fine with the White House.

Kathy Kraninger, an obscure official at the Office of Management and Budget, is President Trump's leading candidate to become director of CFPB, according to sources.

No plan will be implemented as long as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain in conservatorship, but a capital framework for the companies could still have a substantive impact.

Marc Dann, a former Ohio attorney general, has a plan to publicly maintain the CFPB's consumer complaint database if acting Director Mick Mulvaney shuts it down.

Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican lawmaker from California, is among the candidates who have been discussed as President Trump gets closer to naming someone to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to people familiar with the matter.

The agency proposed new minimum capital requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that would only go into effect if the government ends its conservatorships.
