Trump administration

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.

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.

As President Trump signed the regulatory relief bill into law on Thursday, most of the attention was on a provision to help regional banks with more than $50 billion of assets. But a majority of the new law is aimed at helping institutions below $10 billion. Here's how.

The industry’s biggest legislative victory in a decade made it to the finish line Thursday.

The CFPB is looking to rescind Obama-era policy that allowed it to punish banks and financial firms for unintentional discrimination.

The union representing employees at the CFPB is already fighting acting Director Mick Mulvaney's efforts to restructure the agency, and readying for a potentially larger conflict as rumors of layoffs swirl.

The administration is prolonging a decision on a permanent director for the agency to keep the interim chief in place until year-end or longer.

The public face of the Trump administration's revamp of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is by no means working alone.

The group says Mulvaney, who also runs OMB, was not totally forthcoming with the Senate Budget Committee about the foreclosure of a property he owns in South Carolina.

Since taking office in November of last year, acting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Mick Mulvaney's actions have sparked outrage from his critics seemingly at every turn, including several times just last week.
