Among those who were invited was Trump friend and billionaire Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of the private equity giant Blackstone Group, who did not RSVP or attend, according to a person familiar with the invitation. Mnuchin did not solicit or accept any donations at the event, “nor is he utilizing Treasury resources” at the gathering, according to a Treasury spokeswoman.
Since Mnuchin was scheduled to appear in a personal capacity, his name was left off the official agenda, the Trump campaign said. They listened to presentations by top officials from the Trump campaign and the RNC, including RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump Victory Committee national finance chairman Todd Ricketts, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale and Kimberly Guilfoyle, senior adviser to the campaign and a former Fox News host, the agenda shows.
However, he could broadly address about the president’s record affecting the financial industry or the state of the economy, or his support of the Trump presidency, experts said. “He now has direct regulatory power both as chairman of FSOC and the primo voting member of FSOC, certain things can’t happen without his vote,” Wilmarth said.
