Attorney General Andrea Campbell has joined a coalition of more than 20 state attorneys general in an effort to prevent the Trump administration from shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Earlier this month, the Trump administration directed the CFPB to halt nearly all its operations, effectively crippling the agency, which was established to safeguard consumers following the 2008 financial crisis. Billionaire Elon Musk, representing the Department of Government Efficiency, has been leading efforts against the CFPB.
