New York AG announces bill to protect consumers from scams after Trump hobbles CFPB

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday announced a bill to protect the state’s consumers and small businesses from scams and deceptive practices from lenders, debt collectors and health care firms.

The Trump administration has hobbled the CFPB, the federal agency charged with that task.
