“There are so many areas still where the bureau can make a difference,” the Democratic senator said during a virtual event held by several groups, including Americans for Financial Reform, US Public Interest Research Group and the Center for Responsible Lending, acknowledging the CFPB’s anniversary.
“Even in the face of … opposition from politicians and from industry, the agency survived [the Trump administration] and stayed strong, in part because it is built right, “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said of the CFPB.
