President Trump plans to nominate Eugene Scalia, son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to be the next Labor secretary
President Donald Trump plans to nominate Eugene Scalia, son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to be the next Labor secretary.
Scalia previously served as chief legal officer for the Labor Department during the George W. Bush administration, a position he took following a recess appointment by the former Republican president. He also worked as a special assistant to William Barr, now the attorney general, and was a speechwriter for Education Secretary William Bennett. Reached before the president’s Twitter announcement, Scalia declined to comment.
Trump grew close to the Scalia family during the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch, who replaced the late conservative justice on the high court. Scalia's wife, Maureen, attended a Rose Garden ceremony last July where Trump announced Justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the court.Sign Up
