The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a longtime target of the Republican Party that has undergone a significant shakeup in recent weeks, will continue operating, the Trump administration says. After Trump replaced its director with Russell Vought — director of the White House budget office and an author of Project 2025 — work at the CFPB was frozen.
