Court documents show that the Trump administration has denied plans to dissolve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On February 25 local time, lawyers for the Trump administration denied in a court filing that the White House intends to dissolve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, contradicting Trump's claims earlier this month. It is reported that Justice Department lawyers rejected a request from the union representing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau workers on the evening of the 24th, and the union sought a court order to stop the actions aimed at destroying the agency. However, the government admitted that a more "streamlined" agency needs less office space, and the agency has decided to cancel the lease on its headquarters. Justice Department lawyers said that the premise of running a leaner and more efficient agency is that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will continue to exist. (CCTV)
