A top lawyer in the Treasury Department reportedly resigned Monday after the Trump administration unveiled a $1.7 billion fund that could distribute taxpayer money to allies of the president who were investigated by previous administrations.
Brian Morrissey, former general counsel for the Treasury, stepped down from his position just seven months after being confirmed by the Senate. In a resignation letter, he thanked Secretary Scott Bessent and President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter told the New York Times.
