On Monday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin participated in a discussion at the University of California at Los Angeles with Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal. The event was open to the public, and some of the attendees heckled and hissed at him. Demonstrators outside dressed up as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, serving cake.
As the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, Mnuchin subsequently asked the university not to post its official video or audio. UCLA spokeswoman Peggy McInerny emailed the Journal that Mnuchin has retracted his permission for the Burkle Center to post its video and podcast of yesterdays event on its website, so we are unable to share either recording with you.
This is an interesting move for a Cabinet member who (at least occasionally) claims to value transparency, given that this event was once again open to the public.
