Mulvaney investigating aide's controversial blog posts, suggests inspector general review

Acting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Mick Mulvaney said Monday that he is still investigating the lead staffer of the bureau’s office tasked with fair lending policy over controversial blog posts the staffer published before joining the bureau and suggested that the agency’s inspector general may be involved.

Calling the issue “an internal personnel matter,” Mulvaney told reporters at a mortgage banking industry conference in Washington that he believed he’d asked for an inspector general investigation.
