Jerome Paul Compton, the Trump administration’s pick for general counsel at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, pulled in nearly $1.2 million between January 2016 and late March of this year from his work in the Birmingham office of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, according to his financial disclosure form.

Compton, whose confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee is set for July 18, listed the Bank of Ozarks and Lawrenceville, Georgia-based Brand Banking Co., along with Wells Fargo and BB&T Bank, as among his clients.
