A federal judge seeks testimony from a top Consumer Financial Protection Bureau official to determine whether the Trump administration is unlawfully dismantling the agency or merely streamlining it. Jackson expressed frustration during a hearing over unclear answers regarding the agency’s condition and scheduled a follow-up session to hear from the CFPB Chief Operating Officer and others. The judge is weighing an injunction to prevent further disruption, questioning whether the administration's actions are part of a standard transition or an effort to dismantle the agency.
