Allison Lee, a former enforcement attorney at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is the Trump administration’s likely choice to replace her former boss in a Democratic seat at the Wall Street regulator, according to people familiar with the matter.
Lee, a former aide to Commissioner Kara Stein, would replace her former boss on the five-member panel, said the people who requested anonymity to discuss the matter. White House communications staff declined to comment. A phone number listed at an address for Lee in Denver was disconnected and she didn’t immediately respond to a LinkedIn message seeking comment.
