Russell Vought issued a series of directives to CFPB employees Saturday night in his new role as acting head of the bureau.

Vought confirmed that he has taken on the role of acting head and announced a dozen directives that would go into effect immediately.

The directives are effective immediately, unless he approves an exception or a certain activity is required by law.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren slammed Vought 's directives in a post to X, arguing that Vought was giving banks "the green light to scam families".
