Mulvaney gave pay raises to political appointees at consumer protection agency
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) director Mick Mulvaneygave major pay raises to political appointees he hired at the agency, according to multiple media reports.
Four of the political appointees are making $259,500 and another staffer is earning $239,595. The salaries far exceed those made by even the highest-ranking government staffers, including members of Congress and Cabinet secretaries, according to The Associated Press.
Federal government employees can make up to $134,776, not including adjustments made for cities with high costs of living like D.C.
CFPB staffers operate under the Federal Reserve’s pay scale, which caps salaries at $250,000.
Mulvaney’s chief of staff, Kirsten Sutton, is one of the staffers earning $259,500, according to The New York Times. That’s a significant pay bump from her predecessor, Leandra English, who earned $212,324 under former CFPD director Richard Cordray.

Pruitt directed staff to approve raises for top aides: report
Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt instructed staff to approve raises for two top aides, The Washington Post reported Thursday, a day after the EPA chief implied he wasn't involved in the decisions.
The Post cites two EPA officials and one White House official who say that Pruitt instructed his staff members to approve the raises for two aides who had previously served under him in Oklahoma, though did not personally carry out the raises.
The news comes after Pruitt told Fox News in an interview that he had "learned" of the raises and taken steps to find out "how it took place."
