华盛顿5月12日（路透社）——据三位知情人士透露，美国消费者金融监管机构的领导层计划在特朗普政府关闭其华盛顿总部并试图裁撤该机构员工一年多后，要求员工返回办公室办公。
知情人士称，消费者金融保护局的返岗计划尚未向员工公布，具体时间仍未确定。

据三位消息人士和另外两位了解办公占用情况的人士透露，该机构位于市中心的总部大楼目前部分被美国行政管理和预算局使用，该局局长罗素·沃特同时也兼任消费者金融保护局局长。
三位知情人士表示，目前尚不清楚员工是否会被召回消费者金融保护局总部，也不确定这项强制返岗要求是否会覆盖华盛顿以外的机构员工。
消费者金融保护局的代表周二未立即回应置评请求。正如路透社此前报道的那样，特朗普政府于2月取消了消费者金融保护局总部大楼的租约，并将该物业移交给了美国总务管理局。

在去年公开呼吁彻底撤销消费者金融保护局后，政府高层官员如今表示，他们已缩减了裁减该机构员工的计划。一名法官此前发布的临时禁令仍在生效，此前一家下级法院认定，特朗普政府计划在法律体系裁定该举措是否合法之前就将消费者金融保护局彻底解散。
由于机构业务大幅缩减且未来不明，许多消费者金融保护局员工已经离职。该机构是2008年金融危机后设立的，旨在保护公众免受消费金融领域的掠夺性行为侵害。根据法庭文件，自特朗普政府上台以来，该机构的员工人数已减少约30%。
包括唐纳德·特朗普总统在内的政府高层官员将消费者金融保护局描述为对自由企业的政治性负担，而民主党人和该机构的捍卫者则称，撤销该机构的举措是牺牲消费者利益向企业让利。

US consumer finance agency to bring staff back to office year after closure

WASHINGTON, May 12 (Reuters) – Leadership at the U.S. consumer finance watchdog plans to recall staff to the office more than a year after the Trump administration shuttered its Washington headquarters and tried to eliminate the workforce, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
The return-to-office plan for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has not yet been announced to staff and timing remains uncertain, the people said.

The agency’s downtown headquarters are now partly occupied by the Office of Management and Budget, whose Director Russell Vought also leads the CFPB, the three sources and two others briefed on the occupancy said.
It was unclear whether staff would be recalled to CFPB headquarters and whether the mandate would include agency staff based outside Washington, three of the people said.
CFPB representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. The Trump administration in February canceled the lease on the CFPB’s headquarters and handed the property to the General Services Administration, as Reuters previously reported.

After calling for the CFPB’s outright elimination last year, top administration officials now say they have scaled back plans to slash the agency’s workforce. A judge’s provisional order blocking this remains in place after a lower court previously found that the administration planned to wipe out the CFPB before the legal system could decide whether this was legal.
With agency work sharply curtailed and its future uncertain, many CFPB employees have left the agency, which was created following the 2008 financial crash to protect the public from predatory practices in consumer finance. Headcount is down about 30% since the start of the Trump administration, according to court filings.
Top administration officials including President Donald Trump have described the CFPB as a politicized burden on free enterprise, while Democrats and agency defenders have described efforts to eliminate it as a giveaway to corporations at the expense of consumers.
