 Senator Pat Toomey Requests IG Probe Into Biden’s Potentially ‘Unlawful Actions’

“The political leadership of the [CFPB] under the Biden Administration has been taking unusual and possibly unlawful actions to push out top-level career civil servants at the CFPB in order to fill those civil service positions with hand-picked loyalists,” Toomey wrote to Bialek.

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey requested the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s watchdog to review allegations the agency has illegally forced senior officials out.

Sen. Pat Toomey, the Senate Banking Committee’s top Republican, asked Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Inspector General Mark Bialek to review the allegations and potentially open a formal investigation into the matter in a letter sent Thursday afternoon. Toomey referenced a recent Government Executive report, which laid out how President Joe Biden’s administration is using dubious means to force senior CFPB officials to retire.
