Democratic Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, sent Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin a letter Thursday challenging the former Wall Street executive to explain his recent decision to postpone the planned 2020 redesign of the $20 bill to feature the abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
In his exchange with Pressley at last month's hearing, Mnuchin was relatively opaque about the exact decision-making process that led Treasury to modify Lew's original plan, which would have coincided with the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which granted women suffrage nationwide.
Pressley is also looking into the removal of a Treasury Department website which was devoted to the redesign campaign. That URL now directs to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
