Senate confirms Mnuchin as treasury secretary

Written by Teunis Felter

The Senate confirmed Steven T. Mnuchin as treasury secretary Monday evening, putting an end to a contentious and protracted debate while adding another former banker to President Trump’s roster of advisers. As treasury secretary, Mnuchin will be responsible for managing the nation’s day-to-day finances and will have to carry out a broad order from his new boss to review the rules imposed on the financial sector through the Dodd-Frank law of 2010.
