This is a detailed examination of the Project 2025 plans for the CFPB. In it I am seeking to answer the questions:

• Are Russel Vought’s Complaints and Actions Justified?
• Who Benefits from Dismantling the CFPB?
• Is a Tiny Consumer Watchdog an Early Victim in a Strategic Coup?

I’ll present the facts and cite my sources. You decide. Are we witnessing a mighty victory or a terrible defeat?

Current Situation at the CFPB

Russel Vought was confirmed as the director of the Office of Management and Budget on Thursday, February 6th, 2025. He was then named acting director of CFPB.
