Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender is leaving the agency less than five months after being confirmed by the Senate.
Two anonymous sources confirmed to Politico on Friday that Faulkender, who was confirmed by the Senate in late March, is stepping down from his role at the Treasury Department, as The Wall Street Journal first reported. Faulkender’s departure from the Treasury Department comes two weeks after President Donald Trump removed former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Billy Long from his role on Aug. 8.
“I would like to thank Deputy Secretary Faulkender for his dedication and service,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation
