Trump administration attempts to close the CFPB, block agency's work
Update: On January 9, 2026, CFPB Acting Director Vought officially requested $145 million from the Federal Reserve Board, in order to comply with a December court order. With this funding, the CFPB will be able to remain open through March 2026. The underlying litigation for this case, National Treasury Employees Union vs. Vought, in which the CFPB’s employee union and other groups are challenging Vought’s attempt to close the agency, is still ongoing.
