Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought will testify before the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday morning on the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) semi-annual report.
Vought, since taking the reins of CFPB, has quickly sought to crack down on its activities from funding freezes to blocking employees from conducting investigations or engaging with stakeholders, according to reports. A federal appeals court earlier this year also blocked the Trump administration from fully gutting its workforce.
The CFPB is an independent government agency responsible for protecting consumers in the financial sector. It was created in 2011 under the Obama administration, in the wake of the recession in the late 2000s.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
