Trump Admin. Continues to Clean House, Firing Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Chief

Rohit Chopra, who led the troubled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), has left his position after President Trump’s encouragement. The circumstances of his departure, whether it was a resignation or a dismissal, appear to vary depending on the source.

The chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) made known his exit on Saturday, joining the ranks of officials from the Biden administration who have been removed by the Trump administration.

Rohit Chopra, who had been the director of the consumer protection agency since 2021, shared a letter online addressed to President Trump, stating that his term heading the bureau “has ended.” Chopra had been approved for a five-year tenure, which was expected to continue until late 2026.

“With so much power concentrated in the hands of a few, agencies like the CFPB have never been more critical,” he wrote.

The CFPB, the brainchild of radical leftist Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA,) has been under considerable scrutiny in recent months. At least one report has it that Pres. Trump actually fired Chopra:

The Associated Press reported that Trump fired Chopra and was notified of his ouster in an email from the White House.

Trump appointed Chopra to a Democratic seat with the agency during his first term. He was confirmed to run the agency in a 50-48 Senate vote in September 2021.

As recently as Thursday, Chopra reportedly was confident in keeping his job, despite the scrutiny the CFPB was drawing not only from the Trump administration but also from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
