U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s pick for her department’s top international job was withdrawn, after the White House’s personnel office told economist Heidi Crebo-Rediker that she will not be nominated, according to people familiar with the matter.
Crebo-Rediker, a former investment banker, was not given a reason by the presidential personnel office, the people said. She is a former Obama-era appointee who worked for then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was slated to be nominated as undersecretary of international affairs at the Treasury Department.
