(Reuters) – The Washington headquarters of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be closed for the week of February 10-14, according to an internal email, adding to the confusion facing the agency’s staff in the days since representatives of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency gained access.
