Email Exchange About Trump Administration Treasury Pick and Market Impact (File 032916)
Email correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Landon Thomas Jr. discussing potential Treasury Secretary appointments in the Trump administration and market reactions to the 2016 election.
Summary
In this November 2016 email exchange, Landon Thomas Jr., Financial Reporter at the New York Times, asks Jeffrey Epstein about potential Treasury Secretary candidates, specifically questioning whether Trump might bypass Steven Mnuchin for a bigger name to reinforce a 'Reagan 2.0' image. Epstein responds that Trump lacks loyal advisors with gravitas and tends to ignore advice, citing his dismissal of Chris Christie. Thomas notes that hedge fund managers who supported Hillary Clinton are now celebrating profits from the post-election market rally, having become Trump supporters.
