Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent to lead the US Treasury Department, one of the most influential roles in government 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.
