Steve Mnuchin has a lot of experience working in Wall Street, having spent a good amount of his business career with the financial company Goldman Sachs.

"Mnuchin is a long-time investment executive who chairs Dune Entertainment Partners, was founder and CEO of OneWest Bank Group and spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs," noted CNN back in May.

"He also served on the board of a media company, Relativity, that went bankrupt last year, though Variety reported he left the company quietly before Relativity filed for bankruptcy."

This has led some to argue that Trump is backtracking on his previous campaign rhetoric denouncing hedge funders and elites at Wall Street.
