Rohit Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since President Trump took office on Jan. 20.

Rohit Chopra, who led the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, was known for his aggressive enforcement and expansion of consumer protection laws.

“President Trump’s decision to fire CFPB Director Rohit Chopra marks the end of an era of strong consumer protection and the beginning of a plan to end this important agency,” Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said in a statement.
