Politico has reported that James Clinger, President Trump’s nominee to be the next FDIC Chairperson, has asked the White House to withdraw his nomination, citing family issues.
Last month, the White House announced that President Trump intended to nominate Mr. Clinger to be a FDIC member for a six-year term and to be Chairperson for a five-year term, effective November 29, 2017 when the current FDIC chairperson’s term ends.
