Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the ranking member of the Banking Committee, on Thursday questioned Russell Vought, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), about the agency's decision to drop enforcement actions and investigations against companies that have donated to President Trump.
"How many of the enforcement actions and investigations that you've dropped were against companies that have donated to President Trump?" Sen. Warren asked.
"We've made every determination with regard to supervision and enforcement without regard to anything other than the statute and the charge that we've been given at the agency," Mr. Vought replied.
"That's not my question, Mr. Vought, and you know it," she interjected. "How many have donated to President Trump?
You've dropped 40-plus actions for companies, and how many of those companies have donated to President Trump?"
"I have no idea, because I never look at such things," he told her.
