History of the CFPB
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, which was passed in response to the 2008 financial crisis. The agency was tasked with regulating consumer financial products and services, such as credit cards, mortgages, and student loans.
Since its creation, the CFPB has been a major target of the Trump administration, which has sought to eliminate its funding and undermine its authority. The agency has been the subject of several high-profile battles over the years, including a 2017 lawsuit filed by the administration that sought to eliminate its funding.
