At least 15 million Americans may be affected after a Texas court reversed a Biden-era policy that aimed to remove medical debt from credit reports. Per The Hill, U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan made the ruling on Friday, saying the Fair Credit Reporting Act doesn’t give the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau authority to wipe away medical debt from credit reports. Donald Trump appointed Jordan during his first term as president.

What did Joe Biden’s administration say about clearing medical debt?

Joe Biden’s administration planned to remove at least $50 billion of medical debt from millions of Americans with the policy he passed during his term. Former Vice President Kamala Harris also showed support for removing medical debt during her 2024 presidential campaign.

“No one should be denied economic opportunity because they got sick or experienced a medical emergency,” Harris said during her campaign, per The Hill. “We also reduced the burden of medical debt by increasing pathways to forgiveness and cracking down on predatory debt-collection tactics.”

Still, Donald Trump’s closest supporters are praising the latest ruling. Dan Smith, head of the Consumer Data Industry Association, expressed his support in a statement to Reuters.

“This is the right outcome for protecting the integrity of the system,” Smith said, per Reuters.

What are other actions Donald Trump aimed to take against the CFPB?

Trump attempted to dismantle the CFPB earlier this year, but his plan was blocked by the federal court. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson stopped the administration from firing CFPB employees, The Hill reported. She also allowed for previously terminated workers to be reinstated.

Trump’s effort to dismantle the CFPB is part of his plan to tear down several other government agencies that he sees as a waste of money. As part of that effort, the president recently signed a spending and tax bill that could take away Medicaid from millions of people.

A San Francisco judge has ruled that CNN alum Don Lemon can move forward with his lawsuit against Elon Musk. According to The Grio, Superior Court Judge Harold Kahn concluded that Lemon has reasonable evidence to prove his breach of contract lawsuit.

“The ruling means Don can hold X and Musk accountable in open court,” Lemon’s attorney, Carney Shegerian, told Deadline. “Musk is subject to the legal process, just like everyone else, and that’s important. There’s no question about Musk’s motives and liability, as documented in his own texts and on X for millions to see.”

Why is Don Lemon suing Elon Musk?

Lemon filed his lawsuit against Musk due to a dispute over the show he launched on X in 2024. In his lawsuit, Lemon said he was forced to terminate his show on Musk’s social media platform after the pair sat down for an intense interview when they taped the first episode. Per the complaint, Musk sent a text to Lemon’s agent after canceling the show, saying “contract is canceled.”

The lawsuit states that Brett Weitz, the former head of content, talent, and brand sales for X, told Lemon that the platform is “not going to pay him or follow through with the promises and representations made to him because there was no signed agreement.” However, Musk previously told Lemon “that there would be no need for a formal written agreement or to ‘fill out paperwork,’” the complaint states.

Lemon said X offered him a one-year deal for the show, requiring him to provide “exclusive rights to specific video content for a 24-hour period before it could be dispersed to other platforms.” Per the complaint, X promised to pay Lemon $1.5 million, along with other incentives.

Lemon said he was rushed into the deal and told that he would have to attend the CES conference in January or the offer would be canceled. With his “knowledge of Yaccarino’s reputation as a successful media executive,” Lemon agreed to enter into the exclusive partnership deal, the lawsuit states, per Deadline.

What did the judge determine in the latest ruling on Don Lemon’s lawsuit against Elon Musk?

The San Francisco court dismissed Lemon’s accusations of negligent misrepresentation, defamation, retaliation, negligence, and harassment. However, Lemon is allowed to move forward with his claims of fraud, misappropriation of name and likeness, and breach of implied contract.

According to Deadline, Musk hoped the case would move to a Texas federal court. However, Musk’s request was denied.
