Duration: 00:14:04
Publish Date: 2025-02-10 21:49:38
Description: The government agency formed in the wake of the Great Recession acts to regulate financial products, like credit cards & mortgages. But, conservatives have never liked the CFPB, and its new acting director — appointed by President Trump over the weekend — ordered the agency's employees to stop working. They and critics fear the move is a step toward dismantling the CFPB altogether.

This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, political correspondent Susan Davis, and personal finance correspondent Laurel Wamsley.

The podcast is produced by Bria Suggs & Kelli Wessinger, and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
