Financial disclosures
The Office of Government Ethics released Bessent's financial disclosures in January 2025. Click here to review them.
About the nominee
Bessent received a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1984. After graduating, Bessent worked at Brown Brothers Harriman and Kynikos Associates.[5] In 1991, Bessent began working at Soros Fund Management (SFM), where he was the firm's head of European allocation before he resigned in 2000. Bessent then founded a hedge fund that later closed, then worked as a senior investment advisor at Protégé Partners and as an adjunct economic history professor at Yale.[6]
Bessent returned to SFM in 2011 and served as the firm's chief investment officer until 2015. In 2015, Bessent founded the hedge fund Key Square Management.[7]
About the confirmation process
- See also: Appointment confirmation process
The confirmation process includes several rounds of investigation and review, beginning with the submission of a personal financial disclosure report and a background check. The nominee is then evaluated in a committee hearing, which allows for a close examination of the nominee and his or her views on public policy. Supporters and opponents of the nominee may also testify.[8]
Once committee hearings are closed, most committees have a set amount of time before a vote is taken on whether the nominee is reported to the Senate favorably, unfavorably, or without recommendation. The nomination will then go to the Senate floor for consideration. Once the nomination is considered by the Senate, unlimited debate is allowed until a majority of the Senate votes to invoke cloture and close debate. Following a vote of cloture, the Senate conducts a simple majority vote on whether to confirm, reject, or take no action on the nomination.[9]
About the Cabinet
A presidential Cabinet is a group of senior federal officials who advise the president on the issues and activities of their respective agencies. The Cabinet tradition is rooted in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution, which states that the president "may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices."[10]
While not explicitly identified in the Constitution, the Cabinet secretaries are the 15 agency heads who are in the presidential line of succession. The vice president is also part of the Cabinet. These positions, in order of presidential succession, are:
- Vice President
- Secretary of State
- Secretary of the Treasury
- Secretary of Defense
- Attorney General
- Secretary of the Interior
- Secretary of Agriculture
- Secretary of Commerce
- Secretary of Labor
- Secretary of Health and Human Services
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
- Secretary of Transportation
- Secretary of Energy
- Secretary of Education
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs
- Secretary of Homeland Security
The number of officials in a Cabinet can vary across presidential administrations. The following additional positions are part of Trump's second term presidential Cabinet:
- White House chief of staff
- Ambassador to the United Nations
- Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
- Director of the Office of Management and Budget
- U.S. trade representative
- Director of National Intelligence
- Administrator of the Small Business Administration
- Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
All of the positions above, except for Vice President and White House Chief of Staff, require Senate confirmation.
