The Senate Banking Committee is expected to sign off on Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump’s pick to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, next week, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The panel is expected to meet to vote Tuesday at 10 a.m. ET. The vote comes about two weeks after the panel held a hearing on the nominee, who has promised to ease regulations to encourage more companies to go public. Clayton would still need to be confirmed by the full Senate, which could take place in late April.
