Trump Treasury nominee withdraws

Adam Lerrick, President Trump's pick for deputy undersecretary of the Treasury for international finance, will no longer seek Senate confirmation for that position.

Lerrick, a conservative economist and visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), has been a vocal critic of international organizations, like the International Monetary Fund, and bailouts of banks and countries.

Lerrick played a key role in the restructuring of Argentina's $100 billion debt crisis, and worked on financial crises in Greece, Iceland and Cyprus, according to his biography on AEI's website.

While he may be backing out of the confirmation process, Lerrick is still expected to become a senior adviser to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, according to NBC News's Leigh Ann Caldwell.
