华盛顿，4月1日（路透社）——法庭文件显示，唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府已制定一项新计划，拟将美国消费者金融保护局的员工人数削减约三分之二，这与此前计划裁减近90%员工的方案有所调整。
美国司法部在周二晚间提交给哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的文件中表示，新方案表明政府不会像下级法院此前认定的那样，彻底关停消费者金融保护局。消费者金融保护局代表未立即回应置评请求。

- 根据新计划，消费者金融保护局的员工规模将缩减至556人，不足特朗普就职时该局员工数的三分之一；同时将裁减监管事务部85%的岗位——该部门负责监管银行及提供消费服务的非银行金融公司的运营——并裁减执法部门80%的岗位。
- 美国司法部表示，应允许下级法院考虑解除目前阻碍政府执行该计划的禁令。
- 截至目前，政府一直在法庭上争取获得裁撤消费者金融保护局几乎所有岗位的权限，而员工工会及其他方的律师认为这一做法违法，且会妨碍该机构履行2010年国会设立该局时赋予的职责。
- 特朗普及其他高级官员曾呼吁彻底取消消费者金融保护局，指责该局执法存在政治化倾向，且给企业施加了过度负担；而维权人士驳斥这一说法，称其本质是向与政界有联系的企业非法让利，将损害公众利益。
- 周二提交的动议将暂停针对上诉法院全体法官的待决上诉。此前，法官们似乎对政府提出的“法院无权阻止政府解雇几乎所有消费者金融保护局员工”的论点持怀疑态度。

WASHINGTON, April 1 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration has developed a fresh plan to slash the workforce at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by about two thirds, stepping back from earlier efforts to get rid of nearly 90% of all employees, court documents showed.
In a filing submitted Tuesday evening to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the Justice Department said the new plans showed the administration will not shut down the CFPB entirely, as a lower court had found they planned to do. CFPB representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

- Under the new plan, the CFPB workforce would fall to 556 workers, fewer than a third of its size when Trump took office, and it would eliminate 85% of positions in the Division of Supervision, which oversees the conduct of banks and nonbank financial companies offering consumer services, and 80% in enforcement.
- The Justice Department said a lower court should be allowed to consider lifting a stay that currently blocks the administration from carrying out this plan.
- The administration had been battling in court until now for permission to eliminate nearly all CFPB positions, something that lawyers for an employee union and others had argued would be illegal and would prevent the agency from fulfilling duties mandated by Congress, which created the agency in 2010.
- Trump and other top officials had called for the CFPB’s outright elimination, accusing it of politicized enforcement and unduly burdening companies, something advocates had rejected as an illegal giveaway to politically connected corporate actors that would jeopardize the public.
- Tuesday’s motion would pause a pending appeal before the full bench of the appeals court, where judges had appeared skeptical of administration arguments that courts do not have the power to block the government from firing virtually all CFPB workers.
