Mnuchin says he won’t join second Trump administration
by Lauren Irwin - 11/11/24 9:17 AM ET
Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he will not join President-elect Trump’s new administration but will offer advice to whoever takes the top finance role.
Mnuchin told Reuters it was important for the Treasury to work toward strengthening U.S. trade policy, including holding China to its trade commitments from Trump’s 2020 deal to rebalance trade.
The former Cabinet member said serving in Trump’s first administration was the “experience of a lifetime” and Mnuchin said he is “happy to advise on the outside.”
He said he would provide advice to whomever Trump picks, including how to strengthen sanctions on Russia and Iran and contain the country’s debt.

Ex-surgeon general: ‘People still are afraid to touch anything that is associated with Trump’
by Julia Shapero - 11/25/22 3:45 PM ET
Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams says he is still feeling the impact of the “Trump hangover,” nearly two years out from his stint in the Trump administration.
“People still are afraid to touch anything that is associated with Trump,” Adams told The Washington Post in an interview published Friday.
Adams, who served as surgeon general for nearly all of former President Trump’s term, said he had a difficult time finding a position in academia or the corporate world after he left the administration.
“It was a lot harder than he thought to find a landing spot because of the Trump Effect,” his wife, Lacey Adams, told the Post.
