Steve Mnuchin Suggested He Was Too Cool To Watch The Eclipse

Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin was caught watching the 2017 eclipse in a photo the Treasury Department took. ThinkProgress obtained the photo through a Freedom of Information Act. The former Goldman Sachs executive previously came under fire for using taxpayer money to fly to Kentucky that day, near the eclipse’s path of totality. Mnuchin said the accusation that he took the trip to see the eclipse was absurd, because as a New Yorker, he was not interested.
