Another Goldman Sachs executive is being hired for a senior government role in Washington — this time at the Treasury Department.
In a recent response, Goldman’s general counsel wrote
that the company was aware of the “applicable rules and guidelines for interactions with government officials” and had “no reason to believe that individuals from Goldman Sachs breached them.”
As deputy Treasury secretary, Mr. Donovan will play a substantial role in shaping some of the Trump administration’s biggest priorities.
James Donovan, a longtime Goldman banking and investment management executive,
has been named to be the deputy to the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin.
