President Trump dismissed the leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – two independent federal agencies – as well as a slew of inspector generals charged with keeping an eye on the executive branch. How did these moves consolidate even more power in the White House and what guardrails are left to keep protectors safe from politics? Featuring Rohit Chopra, former Director of the CFPB, Jennifer Abruzzo, former NLRB general counsel and Michael Missal, former Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Moderated by former Director of the Office of Management and Budget and IOP Pritzker Fellow Shalanda Young.
