Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) for the position of Treasury Secretary. Hagerty, who was previously Trump's ambassador to Japan and a private equity investor, is among the finalists for the role, alongside former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and Apollo CEO Marc Rowan. Known for his support of cryptocurrency and innovation, Hagerty has been described as a champion for these sectors, potentially bringing a pro-innovation mindset to the Treasury Department. His selection would align with Trump's and the MAGA agenda.
