Nominated for Assistant Treasury Secretary of terrorist financing, David S. Cohen is experienced in complex civil litigation, white collar criminal defense, internal investigations and anti-money laundering counseling. Cohen served concurrently as Acting Deputy General Counsel and Associate Deputy General Counsel of the US Department of the Treasury during the Bill Clinton administration. If confirmed by the Senate, Cohen will be at the center of steering policy of terrorist financing related issues.  It remains unclear how his nomination will impact the decisions of Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Stuart Levey, who appears unlikely to be removed from his position in the near future.
