Elizabeth Warren, the special White House adviser setting up the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, has selected Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to head the new agency’s enforcement arm, according to two people briefed on the appointment.

Cordray, a Democrat who was defeated in November for re-election by former Republican Senator Mike DeWine, has participated in the multi-state investigation of mortgage servicers over allegedly falsified documents.
