Former presidential campaign manager Corey Lewandowski urged the Trump administration on Sunday to fire the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a sign that Republicans are stepping up attacks on the agency that’s targeted Wall Street conduct.

Without being asked about the agency in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Lewandowski said he wanted incoming White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to push for the firing of Director Richard Cordray, a Democrat mentioned as a possible candidate for Ohio governor in 2018.

“He’s a person who is now all but running for governor in the state of Ohio, and he’s sitting in federal office right now,” Lewandowski said. “I hope that the new chief of staff looks at him moving forward and saying it’s time to act decisively.”

Lewandowski cited a rule issued earlier this month by the agency that would make it easier for customers to sue banks by restricting the use of mandatory arbitration to block class-action lawsuits. “It’s going to be about a trillion dollars’ worth of arbitration that the government’s going to have to go through now,” he said.
