Jonathan McKernan, an attorney who specialized in banking and consumer financial laws, has won US Senate confirmation to the top domestic finance job at the Treasury Department.
McKernan was first nominated by President Donald Trump to take the helm of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but the administration shifted in May to tap him to become Treasury undersecretary for domestic finance. He had been working as an adviser at the Treasury, leading meetings with the Federal Reserve and other bank agencies.
