Mulvaney fires all 25 members of CFPB's advisory board
by Gabby Morrongiello
June 06, 2018 09:14 PM Acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Mick Mulvaney fired all 25 members of the agency’s internal advisory board on Wednesday, following criticism of his leadership by several board members earlier this week.
Mulvaney took control of the federal consumer watchdog agency earlier this year.
After waging a legal battle against its deputy director, who was designated acting chief of the agency after her Senate-confirmed predecessor stepped down last November, Mulvaney has faced criticism for declining to take swift enforcement actions against credit card companies, debt collectors, and banks.
