Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is one of four state prosecutors involved in discussions about the director’s job at the new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, sources told Bloomberg news.
Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren, who is setting up the new bureau, has spoken with Coakley and attorneys general from Illinois, Iowa and North Carolina about the position, although there were no formal interviews conducted and no job offers discussed, two people briefed on the conversations told Bloomberg.
Coakley’s office declined to comment on the discussions but said she is not interested in being the director of the federal consumer agency.
“Martha looks forward to working with the new agency as attorney general for the next four years,” spokesman Corey Welford told The Globe.
