The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has decided to drop a lawsuit against Capital One that was filed by the Biden administration. The suit accused Capital One of cheating customers out of $2 billion by not disclosing important information about their savings accounts. Capital One denied the allegations and welcomed the decision to dismiss the suit. This move is seen as part of the CFPB’s efforts under the Trump administration to scale back Biden-era actions. The future of the CFPB is still uncertain, with some calling for the agency to be dismantled. Trump’s nominee to head the agency, Jonathan McKernan, believes that the CFPB has overstepped its mandate and should be more streamlined and accountable if it continues to operate. Efforts to suspend the work of the CFPB have been blocked by a judge, and there are conflicting views about the future direction of the agency.
