Trump to nominate Eugene Scalia as labor secretary
President Trump tweeted on Thursday evening his intention to nominate Gene Scalia as the new secretary of labor.

He is a partner at a Washington, D.C.-based law firm where he focuses on labor and employment. He worked as an assistant to Attorney General William Barr in the 1990s.
Flashback: Alex Acosta resigned as head of the U.S. Department of Labor last week after facing scrutiny for his handling the Jeffrey Epstein case.
