Trump brings back adviser who said workers were 'better off' not being paid

By Dan Desai Martin -March 20, 2020 1:40 PM

Kevin Hassett will return to the White House as an adviser to Trump amid a growing economic crisis and global pandemic.

Kevin Hassett, Donald Trump's former chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, is returning to the White House amid the economic fallout surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the Hill reported on Friday.

Hassett will return temporarily to serve as an adviser to Trump on economic policy in his personal capacity, meaning he will not be a government employee.

Hassett, who served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers from April 2017 through June 2019, has a long record of controversial statements.

After Trump initiated a partial government shutdown in late 2018 and early 2019, Hassett defended him, saying that federal workers might be better off not receiving a paycheck.
