The Trump administration is trying to kill off another independent federal agency in apparent disregard of the law.
In an email sent Monday, Russell Vought, the architect of Project 2025 who was recently confirmed as head of the Office of Management and Budget, instructed employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stay home and refrain "from performing any work task," according to a copy of the missive obtained by independent journalist Marisa Kabas. The news was subsequently confirmed by Bloomberg and Law360.
