Capital One, Walmart: A look at some of the consumer cases dropped by the CFPB under Trump
NEW YORK (AP) — In the nearly six months since the Trump administration has had control of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the bureau's leadership has focused almost exclusively on rolling back any punishments, fines and penalties made against companies during the Biden administration. In some cases, companies that were supposed to refund their customers or pay a penalty for unfair or deceptive practices are no longer bound to make their customers whole. Other companies facing charges of fraud of deceptive practices saw their lawsuits dropped in the early days of the Trump administration. Here are some of the Trump administration's rollbacks: Navy Federal Credit Union The CFPB accused Navy Federal Credit Union, the nation's largest credit union, of having unfair and deceptive overdraft fee practices. NFCU settled with the bureau and agreed to refund its members $80 million in overdraft fees. However, when the new administration took over, NFCU asked to have the order dismissed, which the CFPB agreed to do without giving a reason. Navy Federal has not said whether it would refund their members, which are mostly service men and women, families and veterans. Reduced overdraft fees The CFPB proposed new regulations that would have reduced overdraft fees to $5 from their industry average of $27. The regulations focused on a bureau analysis on what it actually cost banks to make short-term loans to customers to cover those purchases when a customer's account went negative. The banking industry stood to lose billions of dollars in overdraft revenue, although banks have been weening themselves off overdraft fee revenue for years. The regulations were overturned by the Republican-controlled Congress in April. Capital One In the last days of the Biden administration, the CFPB sued banking giant Capital One for allegedly cheating its customers out of $2 billion in interest payments on their savings accounts. The case involved a product that Capital One sold known as 360 Savings, which the bank advertised as having the best savings rate in the country. Capital One failed to tell some customers that it had another product with a higher savings rate. The case was dropped within days of the Trump administration taking over the bureau. WalMart The CFPB filed a lawsuit in December against WalMart and workforce company Branch Messenger, accusing the companies of deceptively steering delivery drivers to open accounts with Branch, in order for those employees to get instant access to their wages. However, the CFPB said these Branch accounts came with high fees and deceptive marketing, and said Wal-Mart and Branch should return $10 million to harmed drivers. Both Wal-Mart and Branch denied the accusations. The lawsuit was dropped by the CFPB in the first weeks of the Trump administration. Zelle The parent company of Zelle, the peer-to-peer payment system, as well as some of the nation's largest banks, were sued by the CFPB late last year over accusations they failed to protect hundreds of thousands of consumers from rampant fraud on Zelle, in violation of consumer financial laws. The CFPB's lawsuit claimed hundreds of thousands of customers lost approximately $870 million in funds to fraud over the seven years that Zelle had been in existence. That lawsuit was dropped by the CFPB in March.

Adams must drop out — Curtis Sliwa is the only NYC candidate who can beat Mamdani
The nomination of socialist Zohran Mamdani as the Democratic New York City mayoral candidate has turned the race into a battleground for the Republican Party to lodge a rare victory in urban America. This contest is set against the backdrop of President Trump's rebranding of the Republicans as the party of the working class, which has gained success nationwide but struggled in major cities. Over two decades ago, as president of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club, I began to witness first-hand the steep climb Republicans face in securing victories. The club's modest goal was to elect a few city council members from the outer boroughs. Today, while New York City's political landscape remains heavily Democratic, Mamdani's radical platform, which includes launching government-run supermarkets, has sparked fresh debate about Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa's viability as a candidate who can appeal beyond traditional GOP voters. Sliwa's campaign and life align with the Republican Party's Trump-led shift toward appealing to working-class voters, emphasizing law-and-order and grassroots community engagement. His decades leading the Guardian Angels have earned him credibility across party lines. He notably achieved record-breaking support among Asian American voters in his unsuccessful 2021 mayoral bid. Yet some New York Republican leaders are pushing Sliwa to withdraw in favor of Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat with serious ethical problems who is running as an independent because he had no chance in his party's primary. They argue that Sliwa's roughly 30 percent support base from 2021 would shift to Adams and block Mamdani. This effort reflects a broader tension within the Republican Party: short-term electoral pragmatism versus long-term party-building in urban strongholds. The smarter path would be to rally behind Sliwa and urge Adams — a Democrat plagued by trust issues — to step aside. Sliwa's support is rooted in genuine enthusiasm, not merely opposition to Mamdani. In contrast, Adams's minimal backing, as WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg put it, hinges on his being 'not as bad as' Mamdani. This weak position is not the formula for a winning campaign. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's recent primary loss to Mamdani is only further evidence of that. To force Sliwa out is to risk alienating his base, who may skip Election Day rather than support a Democrat. Instead, if Republicans unite behind Sliwa, it could position him to attract independents and moderate Democrats wary of Mamdani's agenda, potentially finally fostering a real two-party system in New York City. Sliwa's appeal to moderate Democrats far outweighs Adams's ability to win over Republicans, given the latter's baggage. Republicans who want to push Sliwa aside should also recall his longstanding commitment to local grassroots Republican groups, which he has supported for many years to try to balance the political landscape in New York for the better. Indeed, I still remember him as a regular guest speaker at my Brooklyn Young Republican club meetings more than 20 years ago. Nationally, the stakes are high. A strong Sliwa performance could serve as a bellwether for the GOP's urban strategy, offering a blueprint for challenging Democratic dominance in cities. It could also bolster Republican prospects in the 2026 New York State gubernatorial race and other local contests. Although Mamdani may still win, it would strengthen Republicans' foothold in America's largest city if they support Sliwa instead of settling for another Democrat. Republicans must rally behind a candidate who has connected with diverse voters throughout his storied life to seize this rare opportunity to reshape urban politics as Democrats veer dangerously toward socialism.
