Cohn reportedly drafted a letter of resignation in August after Trump made the controversial remark that “people on both sides” were responsible for the violence at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Cohn was also being considered to lead the Federal Reserve, but Trump is expected to announce Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell as his pick on Thursday afternoon.

Cohn said in his Thursday remarks that the president’s pick is a “spectacular choice,” but did not reveal the selection.
