DOJ confirmed the CFPB has no legal funding stream. Trump is shutting down the unconstitutional Obama era agency that acted as a fourth branch of government. Vought says enough is enough. Created in the panic of 2008, the CFPB was built to bypass Congress’s power of the purse and shield itself from presidential oversight. DOJ now says the Fed has no earnings to fund it and never should have. Acting Director Russell Vought requested zero dollars earlier this year, saying the Bureau had enough cash on hand to wind itself down. Critics like Elizabeth Warren call this political, but it is the Constitution doing the talking. When an agency cannot legally pay its bills, it cannot regulate anyone.
