SAIS Dates the Faculty Start to May 2017. Covington Is the Firm Bio.

DOCUMENTED

The Johns Hopkins SAIS faculty page for Adam J. Szubin states that he “joined the Johns Hopkins SAIS faculty as a Distinguished Practitioner-in-Residence in May 2017.” It also states that during the 2017 transition he served as Acting Secretary of the Treasury. The acting-secretary clause is now also on Treasury jl0713. The May 2017 faculty date is SAIS’s.

Covington & Burling’s professional page describes him as a partner/counsel-level sanctions lawyer and lists acting secretary (2017), acting TFI under secretary (2015–2017), and OFAC director (2006–2015). Exact private-practice start day is not treated here as a government filing. The firm page is the firm’s claim.

No ALWAYS-CHECK-list profile of the SAIS/Covington chapter was located as of August 22, 2026, beyond the Fox News nomination-year pieces already cited. This post does not invent one.

Opinion

The following is commentary by this site. It is not a finding of fact and not a legal conclusion.

Compiler take

Out of the building, into the faculty listing and the white-shoe bio. The government record stops at the spokesperson’s exit line. Do not invent a later plot.
