TRUMP’S PAYDAY Ÿ 1 of 16
 Executive Summary

Installed as “acting director” of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in a

controversial and still legally dubious move by President Donald Trump in November, Mick
Mulvaney has wasted no time demonstrating the administration’s commitment to predatory
payday lenders1, ignoring the needs of consumers targeted by industry with 400% interest loans
that purposely trap borrowers in hard to escape cycles of debt.

Prior to joining the administration and becoming one of President Trump’s most loyal
enforcers, Mulvaney accepted more than $62,000 in campaign contributions from payday
lenders2 – lots of it coming within days of him taking official action to benefit industry.3
Mulvaney even appeared on the website of a major payday lender4 in defense of the industry –
the same lender’s PAC and employees gave him more than $12,000.5

From his time in the South Carolina state legislature to the U.S. Congress, Mulvaney has been a
reliable vote and advocate for predatory payday lenders. He arrived at the CFPB already
prejudiced against the bureau’s important new rule protecting consumers from the industry’s
worst abuses. At the CFPB, Mulvaney has dropped investigations of a predatory lender that
gave him thousands in campaign cash6, pulled out of court cases seeking to hold lenders
accountable7, and perhaps most troubling, delayed implementation of the bureau’s important
payday lending rule8 – a move experts view as the first step toward gutting the rule’s consumer
protections altogether.

The President's selection of a payday industry puppet to lead the CFPB as “acting director” was
no accident.

As payday lenders gather for their annual conference, this year being held at Trump National
Doral golf resort in Florida9, this report documents the years-long industry effort to court
Trump and garner his support in their effort to rebuff new regulations that would tip the scales
in favor of consumers and hold lenders to a higher standard of accountability.

TRUMP’S PAYDAY Ÿ 2 of 16
 Bankrolling Candidate Trump

Despite repeatedly claiming that he was funding his own campaign because he
couldn’t be bought by special interests like other politicians, candidate Donald
Trump found a reliable source of campaign funds in payday lenders. During the
2016 election, the industry contributed at least $621,150 to Trump’s presidential
campaign and related super PACs.

 Celebrating President-Elect Trump

In the election of Donald Trump, payday lenders had reason to celebrate. After
spending more than $620,000 to help get him elected, the industry opened its
collective wallet once again. This time in honor of President-elect Trump at his
inauguration which carried a celebratory price tag of at least $1,275,000.

TRUMP’S PAYDAY Ÿ 5 of 16
 Influencing President Trump

After Trump was sworn into office, payday lenders worked overtime to influence
their new friend. The industry spent at least $375,000 on lobbying efforts in 2017
alone, which included pushing the Executive Branch on such issues as Dodd-Frank
reform, the CFPB’s payday lending rule, and ‘Operation Choke Point,” a
Department of Justice effort opposed by payday lenders that targeted
unscrupulous lending practices. The wallets of payday lenders have remained
open too with more than $40,400 already being contributed to Trump’s
reelection campaign committees and at least $75,000 finding its way to his
Republican National Committee (RNC). At least one Trump confidant is also
swimming in payday cash. His former campaign manager and on again, off again
advisor Corey Lewandowski and his related lobbying firms have taken in at least
$250,000 perusing the interests of payday lenders. And, in what may be the most
brazen attempt to influence the President, a shady trade group that "represents
the payday loan industry," is holding its annual convention at "Donald Trump's 90-
hole golf resort 12 miles west of downtown Miami.” All of that and we are only 16
months into his White House tenure.

On Again, Off Again Trump Advisor’s Ties to the Payday Industry

Corey Lewandowski formed a consulting firm—Lewandowski Strategic Advisors—in May

2017. One of its "first new clients" was an "Ohio-based company called Community Choice
Financial," a "leader in the payday lending industry." The company has "advocated for the
Trump administration to block or overturn federal financial regulations" and its CEO called
the CFPB "'the great Darth Vader' of the federal government."

Lewandowski called for Trump "to oust the [CFPB's] director, Richard Cordray" during a July
2017 Meet the Press appearance. When asked if he had "'a client that wants to see' Mr.
Cordray fired," Lewandowski said, "'No, no. I have no clients whatsoever.'" However, a draft
contract obtained by The New York Times showed that "Community Choice Financial offered
him a $20,000-a-month retainer in return for 'strategic advice and counsel designed to further
the goals of'" the company. Lewandowski claimed the contract was never executed and he
hasn't "'been paid a dime'" by Community Choice Financial.

• In July 2017, Lewandowski, on NBC's Meet the Press, called "for Mr. Trump to oust the
[CFPB's] director, Richard Cordray, an Obama holdover who has led the effort to pass
new payday lending requirements." Lewandowski "added a criticism of a new rule
issued by the [CFPB in July] that bans financial companies from using mandatory
arbitration clauses in customer contracts." In the Meet the Press interview, Corey
Lewandowski said, "'No, no. I have no clients whatsoever'" in response to a question by
Chuck Todd asking if he had "'a client that wants to see' Mr. Cordray fired." [Nicholas
