the debate against with financial services committee chair maxine waters. he consumer financial protection bureau so it can carry out its mission of protecting consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive ts or practices by financial protections. the cfpb ensured there was an agency in place with the sole dedicated purpose of protecting every consumer of financial products and services and holding bad actors fully accountable when consumers are harmed. under the leadership of its irst director, richard cordray, the consumer bureau was a resounding success. during that time, the agency put nearly $12 billion back in the pockets of over 30 million consumers who were harmed by financial institutions. the agency put in place important new protections so that consumers no longer had to worry about exploding mortgages, hidden prepaid card fees, or unnecessary foreclosures due to weak servicing standards. the consumer bureau also helped to take the confusing jargon out of various financial products, such as financial loans, by creating tools students can use to com

this bill addresses a concern that many of us on the financial services committee have had to deal with for some time now. and it is the question of whether the committee is going to allow the cfpb to protect consumers or to protect big business from unscrupulous behavior. i am a person who believes that we should protect the consumer. this legislation will allow the persons who receive student loans to avoid being placed into costly repayment plans that will cause them to pay more money and possibly default. it will cause consumers looking to open a new checking account to have the opportunity to do so with a bank that will have the least amount of overdraft fees. it will allow persons who are seeking credit cards to have the right to seek relief through the courts, not through some boiler pleat language that they might -- plate language that they might find in a contract that will not benefit them. this is the opportunity that we must take advantage of to protect consumers. it's the consumer financial protection bureau, not the financial institutions protection bureau. so with this sa

that also explains what the subpoena is for, what the intelligence committee and the financial services committee are investigating and how this subpoena fits into it. "the committee on intelligence is investigating, among other time-sensitive threats to national security, foreign interference in the u.s. political process and financial or other leverage that foreign powers may possess over mr. trump, his family and his business. that investigation is squarely within the committee's jurisdiction and requires an understanding of mr. trump's complex financial arrangements including how those arrangements intersect with russia and other foreign governments and entities. that inquiry is, by definition, not limited to mr. trump's time in office and, given the closely held nature of the trump organization, it must include his close family members. the intelligence community has long recognized that foreign financial ties can create potential conflicts of interest and a heightened risk of foreign influence, exploitation and coercion. indeed, such ties are regularly examined as part of the normal securit

of the articles talked about reversing, the legislation by maxine waters the chair of financial services committee, mick mulvaney served as director as you pointed out. what's the working relationship between mick mulvaney and chairman waters and what are some of the issues that she found most objectionable that the bureau has done so far? >> so the relationship was extremely tense. these are two people who are die metricically opposed. mick mulvaney was on the committee that waters chairs. and she was frustrated of mulvaney pulling back enforcement of a lot of the bureau's regulations and particularly concerned in the office of fair lending, which was reorganized so the director would have more direct control over it and less independence to go pursue these cases of racial discrimination in lending, anything else that, you know, could cause one american to get a worse deal from a bank or a lender than another. that was one of the rain areas of concern and she used every opportunity she could to try to get mulvaney to reverse that or at least ramp up the political pressure. >> moments ago, you men

i know you guys are talking about the financial services committee and the house. i have been following them thatly and it is obvious the bankers don't need the lobbyist still working on behalf of them. if you listen to the hearings you see different conversations between two aisles. democrats looking out for consumers doing their best in the redlining practices and push for diversity among the ceos. the republicans seem more interested in protecting large banks. i'm just curious as a lobbyist for these bankers, are these fines becoming a cost of business? host:host: let me ask you do you want to make a comment or ask a question about this credit card proposal that senator sanders and representative a conseil ocasioc-ortez -- caller:caller: i think it is wonderful. it was pretty obvious that there needs to be more work done on behalf of the consumers instead of the bankers. the bankers are making record high profits and paying these fees and fines that are just a drop in the bucket for taking advantage of consumers and doing heinous things. have these fines just be
