Treasury Official John Hurley Expected to Move to OECD Post Amid White House Clash
John Hurley, a former undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the U.S. Treasury Department, is anticipated to be nominated as the U.S. representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This development follows Hurley's departure from his Treasury role in February after reportedly clashing with the White House over privacy concerns related to federal monitoring of international payments from Minnesota's Somali immigrant community. Hurley, a former hedge fund executive and Army veteran, had raised these concerns with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which put him at odds with White House officials prioritizing a crackdown on alleged fraud. The OECD, based in Paris, is an intergovernmental organization focused on promoting economic growth among democracies with market-based economies.
