Trump taps Hassett to lead National Economic Council, source says By Reuters

(Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Kevin Hassett to lead the National Economic Council, a source briefed on the matter said on Tuesday.

Hassett briefly returned to the White House in 2020 to serve as an economic adviser to help with response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
