Top Democrats accuse CFPB’s Mulvaney of violating election law 

For the second time in the last eight months, the director of the CFPB stands accused of violating federal election law. Last time, it was former CFPB Director Richard Cordray under the election law microscope. The Office of Special Counsel eventually cleared Cordray of any election malfeasance, but now, it’s Cordray’s replacement who could be facing a Hatch Act investigation.
