Trump withdraws nomination of former US attorney for Treasury post: report
President Trump is withdrawing his nomination for the Treasury Department’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial crimes, according to Axios.
Jessie Liu, a former U.S. attorney for D.C., left her post on Jan. 31 after the president nominated her for the Treasury position in December.
Liu oversaw various high-profile cases, including the case against former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone.
The Axios report comes shortly after all four prosecutors quit Stone’s case Tuesday after the Department of Justice asked for a lighter sentence than what they recommended.
Liu was set to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
