CFPB''s 1,700 employees told to ''not perform any work'' as Obama-era agency becomes latest Trump target
[NYPOST] WASHINGTON — The nearly 1,700 employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) were told Monday not to come to the office or do any work — as the agency became the latest target of President Trump's effort to shrink the federal government.Russ Vought, the newly confirmed director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and acting director of the CFPB, told the workforce that they would have a surprise week off — after similar actions preceded last week's bloodbath at USAID. ''Good morning CFPB staff, As you have been informed by the Chief Operating Officer in an email yesterday, the Bureau's DC headquarters building is closed this week. Employees should not come into the office,'' Vought wrote in a staff-wide email.
