President Donald Trump on Nov. 14 withdrew the nomination of Donald L. Korb, a veteran tax attorney, to serve as the top lawyer for the IRS.

“Please be advised that I am withdrawing the nomination of Donald Korb to be Assistant General Counsel in the Department of the Treasury,” Trump wrote in a social media post, not elaborating on why he was pulling the nomination.

The Senate was preparing to vote on Korb’s nomination for assistant general counsel, a critical role that provides legal advice and support to departmental officials and staff on the Treasury Department’s full range of initiatives and responsibilities, including on how the government interprets tax codes and defends those positions in U.S. Tax Court.

Korb previously served as the IRS chief counsel during President George W. Bush’s administration.

Days before Trump pulled Korb’s nomination, the veteran tax attorney came under fire by right-wing activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer, who alleged that he had “several major red flags that disqualify him from assuming his role under the Trump administration.” In a post on social media, Loomer said Korb had too much past association with Democrats.

After the president withdrew Korb’s nomination, Loomer took credit in a post on X.

Korb did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

The president has pulled multiple nominees in recent months as he continues to fill critical positions in his second administration.

On Sept. 19, Trump withdrew the nomination of Erik Siebert to serve as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Siebert had been leading the probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud case, but his office did not find “incriminating evidence” to bring charges, according to a joint statement by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.).

The following day, Trump said he had appointed his former attorney, Lindsey Halligan, to serve in the role as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The White House announced on Sept. 30 that it had withdrawn economist EJ Antoni’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

“Dr. EJ Antoni is a brilliant economist and an American patriot that will continue to do good work on behalf of our great country,” a White House official said. “President Trump is committed to fixing the longstanding failures at the BLS that have undermined the public’s trust in critical economic data.”
