Trump Administration Declares CFPB's Funding Source Illegal
2025-11-12 01:54

The Trump administration has officially declared the current funding source of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) illegal, stating that the law prohibits the CFPB from seeking additional funds from the Federal Reserve, its usual funding source. The CFPB anticipates its funds will last until the end of the year but will be depleted by early 2026. Without new appropriation legislation from Congress, the CFPB will face a funding shortfall starting next year, potentially halting its operations.
