US EditionTrump administration, Musk’s DOGE plan to fire nearly all CFPB staff and wind down agency, employees say
- A coalition of 23 attorneys general, led by Phil Weiser, is suing to block the Trump administration's plan to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and terminate most of its staff.
