Senator Hassan's Statement on Opposing Steve Mnuchin to Serve as Treasury Secretary

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Senator Maggie Hassan issued the following statement on her opposition to President Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin:

"Steve Mnuchin ran a bank that's been called a 'foreclosure machine' and has a long record of profiting off of predatory lending practices while hard-working families paid the price. He even tried to mislead Congress about his troubling business practices and potential conflicts of interests throughout the hearing process. I cannot support a Treasury Secretary who would give corporate special interests free rein while jeopardizing the health and stability of our economy, and unfortunately it's clear that's exactly what Mr. Mnuchin would do."
