Donald Trump is trying to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Under the Trump administration, there's no one there to give financial relief to Americans like her who deserve that relief. We want to make sure that if you have a health emergency, you end up in the hospital for a long period of time. You have big bills that you can't immediately pay, that you don't get penalized for that on your credit score. But Trump reversed those efforts. And so now you're stuck with medical debt being put on your credit report. The Trump CFPB just dropped a rule protecting your private data. So now your data can be sold to the highest bidder with no accountability and no recourse. (01:07–01:26)
