Comment on Steven Mnuchin confirmed as treasury secretary

Steven Mnuchin confirmed as treasury secretary

On Monday night, the Senate confirmed former Wall Street banker and OneWest Bank CEO Steven Mnuchin as treasury secretary on a 53-47 vote. The only Democrat to vote for Mnuchin was Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.). It was a rocky road to confirmation, with consumer advocates and Democrats bringing attention to OneWest foreclosing on 36,000 homeowners during the 2008 financial crisis and Mnuchin not including $100 million in assets on his financial disclosure forms.
