Steven Mnuchin's wife strikes a pose with a sheet of money
Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, looks thrilled that her husband's signature made it onto the dollar bill.
Linton and Mnuchin
posed with sheets of new $1 bills on Wednesday at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C. The notes are the first to
feature Mnuchin's signature, along with that of U.S. Treasurer Jovita
Carranza, and are expected to enter circulation in December.
Linton was widely criticized earlier this year when she posted a photo
on Instagram that showed her stepping off a government plane. She
flaunted her designer wardrobe by tagging the designers she was wearing,
then argued with a commenter who criticized her "getaway."
The photo kicked off an investigation into Mnuchin's use of government planes.
The Treasury Department's inspector general ultimately found no evidence of wrongdoing, but said the Trump administration had cut corners during the approval process for Mnuchin's trips.
On Wednesday, social media lit up with jokes about the
wealthy couple's photo shoot. Before he joined the Trump team, Mnuchin
worked in finance, with stints as a Goldman Sachs banker and Hollywood
movie producer. Linton is an actress.
