U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessenet on Wednesday again denied concerns about whether National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is qualified to serve as Federal Reserve Chairman. A reporter mentioned that Trump had stated at the end of November that he already knew the candidate, but interviews were still ongoing; in response, Bessenet said, "Maybe he is referring to—maybe I am his choice, but I couldn't accept it at that time."
