Russell Vought, now serving as the acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), issued a series of directives to employees on Saturday night. These orders effectively brought a significant portion of the bureau's operations to a halt.
In an email sent to CFPB employees, Vought confirmed that he had assumed the role of acting head of the bureau. He also announced a series of twelve directives that would take effect right away, signaling a shift in the bureau's operations, reported NBC News.
