President Donald Trump this morning while answering reporters question said that Sears Holdings Corp., which had just declared bankruptcy, had been mismanaged for years.
His Secretary of the Treasury, Steve Mnuchin, was a member of Sears’s board from 2005 and remained until December 2016, just before joining the incoming Trump Administration.
“Sears has been dying for many years,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House to inspect hurricane damage in Florida. “It’s been obviously improperly run for many years and it’s a shame.”
According to Bloomberg, Mnuchin was a college roommate of Sears Chairman Eddie Lampert, who attended Mnuchin’s confirmation hearing for Treasury secretary in January 2017.
