Howard Lutnick likely to be Trump's Commerce secretary. This is not what the megadonor wanted
Lutnick gained national attention when 658 of his employees and his brother died in the 2001 World Trade Center attack. He rebuilt Cantor Fitzgerald almost from ashes. 63-year-old Lutnick had been in the running to be Treasury secretary but Donald Trump reportedly soured on him due to infighting between Lutnick and other prominent candidates for the job, including financier Scott Bessent.
