(Reuters) -Paul Atkins, a former Wall Street regulator whom President Donald Trump has tapped to run the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is set to testify at a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday at a time of major change at the agency and across the federal workforce. Jonathan Gould, Trump's nominee to supervise the largest U.S. banks as comptroller of the currency, is also set to appear, along with Luke Pettit and Marcus Molinaro, Trump's picks for senior roles at the Treasury and Transportation departments, respectively. In prepared remarks released Wednesday, Atkins avoided addressing White House efforts to slash the SEC's workforce as part of broader government cuts, instead pledging to deliver regulation that would benefit the crypto industry and prevent "overly politicized" regulations from stifling free enterprise.
