A high-ranking Treasury Department official responsible for overseeing the nation’s sanctions programs is expected to resign following reported conflicts with his supervisor, according to a Bloomberg News report released Sunday.
John Hurley, who serves as Treasury under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, plans to step down from his role amid tensions with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the report indicates.
In his current position, Hurley leads the department’s efforts to combat financial crimes and manages the implementation of economic sanctions against foreign entities and individuals.
Reuters has not been able to independently confirm the Bloomberg report at this time.
