Trump picks Goldman Sachs chief for economic adviser: report

[n2doc]

Donald Trump has picked Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn to direct the National Economic Council, NBC News reported Friday morning.

The council helps advise the president on economic policy.

Cohn would be the second Goldman-linked appointment for the president-elect, who already named former Goldman Sachs partner Steven Mnuchin as Treasury secretary.

Trump was a vocal critic of Wall Street banks on the campaign trail and repeatedly called on Hillary Clinton to release the transcripts of the paid speeches she delivered to Goldman Sachs. He also accused former primary rival Sen. Ted Cruz of being “owned” by Goldman Sachs.
