President-elect Donald Trump “is preparing to announce his pick for Treasury secretary as early as the end of the week, the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Finalists for the Treasury job include Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), who heads the House Financial Services Committee; Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs Group banker and prominent Trump campaign supporter; and John Allison IV, who built one of the largest regional banks, BB&T.
“The shift to the top economic posts, which have been overshadowed by the internal fight over the secretary-of-state position, signals that the administration-in-waiting is seeking to get back on to its relatively brisk track.”
