House Democrats chew out Vought over CFPB leadership: ‘I’m glad you’re leaving’

House Democrats harshly criticized Russell Vought during his first congressional appearance as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), highlighting his tumultuous tenure and expressing relief at his impending departure. The CFPB has struggled significantly under Vought's leadership during President Trump's second term, leading to concerns over its effectiveness. This grilling underscores the Democrats' frustration with the agency's direction and signals a potential shift in oversight and policy direction once Vought leaves.
