Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent to lead the US Treasury Department, a post with wide oversight of tax policy, public debt, international finance and sanctions.

Donald Trump capped off a busy week with a slew of new appointments on Friday, including several major positions in his cabinet.

President-elect Donald Trump continued filling out his cabinet and naming other members of his administration Friday night. Trump first announced what had been reported earlier this week: that he would be putting Russ Vought back in charge of the Office of Management and Budget.
