Warren, Axelrod Meet as Consumer Agency Decision Looms

Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren, a top White House candidate to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is apparently no longer on the outside looking in.

Thursday, she was on the inside – literally – meeting with White House officials, including senior advisor David Axelrod.

It was unclear what was discussed, and Warren is no stranger to the Obama White House, but the meeting will likely trigger buzz in Washington because White House officials are still in the process of determining whether to nominate Warren to be the first director of the CFPB.
