The White House's chief of staff praised Walden, one of the few Black women leaders in a profession dominated by White men, for demonstrating 'excellent leadership' when she took on her role.
WASHINGTON, July 15 - The White House's acting national cyber director was informed in recent weeks she would not be considered to serve in a permanent role because of personal debt issues that would make her difficult to confirm, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients had praised Walden - one of the few Black women leaders in a profession dominated by White men - for demonstrating "excellent leadership" when she took on her role in February. A U.S. official, who did not wish to be named, told Reuters in a statement the vetting process is designed to assess whether a candidate has any issues that would prove disqualifying in a Senate confirmation process.The administration has had a tough time getting nominees through this year including Biden's pick for labor secretary Julie Su and has had to withdraw several nominees since March.
"The Biden-Harris Administration – and the American people – greatly appreciate Acting Director Walden's vision and service...," Simons said.
