Team Trump

Labor secretary nominee Andrew Pudzer was the first of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks to withdraw. The fast-food executive had difficulty winning over Democrats and Republicans alike. They had grown weary of his liabilities, in particular the fact that he employed a housekeeper who was in the country illegally. On Thursday, the president tapped Florida International University law school dean Alex Acosta for the post. Acosta is Trump’s first Hispanic nominee.
