Johnson told senators he does not support dismantling the CFPB and would focus on carrying out the laws Congress assigned to the agency. Several Democrats also pressed Johnson on Vought’s plans to reduce CFPB staffing, including cutting the number of examiners responsible for reviewing banks and lenders for compliance. Johnson said the impact would depend on the bureau’s examination strategy and noted that Vought’s staffing changes are tied up in litigation. The committee has not yet scheduled a vote on Johnson’s nomination. Senators have until July 24 to submit written questions to Johnson and the other nominees, with responses due July 31.
