In its notice, the CFPB’s acting director, Russell Vought, wrote that he was withdrawing the proposal “in light of updates to Bureau policies,” and that it did not align with the agency’s “current interpretation of the FCRA,” which he added the CFPB is “in the process of revising.”

Everything he has done is straight out of Project 2025. He said he didn't know anything about Project 2025. He's a pathological liar so we know he was quite familiar with Project 2025. You really have to understand the upside down backwards reality in Trump's mind to understand what he is saying.

Project 2025 spells all of this out; everyone was warned. Unfortunately the low information voters did not absorb the information that was given them! Ugh. Trump denied Project 2025, but he lied.
