The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs’ Ranking Member, Senator Elizabeth Warren, issued a statement after the D.C. Circuit agreed to review en banc a case challenging the Trump Administration’s attempt to “close down” the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Warren described the decision as preventing Russ Vought from carrying out what she called a “lawless plan” to shut the agency, and cited the CFPB’s record of returning more than USD 21 billion to consumers. She argued that adherence to the law by the courts is necessary to avoid harm to families.
