Trump Moves to KILL Consumer Watchdog CFPB in Funding Showdown Designed to Hurt American Workers.

from FIVE MINUTE NEWS · host MeidasTouch Network

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) faces an unprecedented crisis that could force it to close by 2026. The Trump administration is challenging the agency's funding, arguing the Federal Reserve can't legally transfer money because it hasn't turned a profit. If the CFPB runs out of cash, experts warn it would dismantle crucial protections for working Americans. Independent media has never been more important.
