Is the Administration Sidelining Senior Execs at CFPB?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in recent months has offered incentives to leave the agency including early retirement and launched investigations into career senior executives to sideline or remove them, targeting about a half-dozen of the highest-ranked non-political staffers at the small independent agency.  According to reports, the targeting is mostly aimed at Trump-era hires at CFPB and is likely flouting civil service protections.

GovExec Senior Correspondent Eric Katz is covering the CFPB story. He joined the show to discuss the administration’s strategy, the potential for adjudication and what this means for the civil service.
