Trump nominates Linda McMahon as Education Secretary as Treasury Secretary race intensifies
Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon, co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, as his Education Secretary. This follows a series of early Cabinet appointments, with the Treasury Secretary position remaining the most contested. The competition for Treasury Secretary has reportedly intensified, described as a "knife fight" among candidates. McMahon's nomination requires Senate confirmation, and she was previously considered for the Commerce Secretary role. Trump's campaign team has also issued a statement criticizing a forthcoming book by Michael Wolff, which includes allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein. The team labeled Wolff as a "known peddler of fake news."
