The move comes as the New York attorney general’s office has intensified scrutiny of Quadrangle Group and Mr. Rattner, 56 years old, as part of a long-running probe, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The attorney general is overseeing a broad investigation into alleged payments to secure business with New York state’s large public-pension fund.
There is no indication that Mr. Rattner’s return to New York is connected to the probe. The fact he has been named in an ongoing investigation could have complicated any administration effort to appoint Mr. Rattner to a more permanent post.
A spokesman for Quadrangle declined to comment. Neither the firm nor Mr. Rattner has been charged with wrongdoing.
