President Donald Trump’s administration has pulled from the finance industry to bolster its ranks. He tapped hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to run the Treasury Department. Ben Black, the son of Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black, now works as chief executive officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. Last year, Trump tapped Frank Bisignano to lead the IRS as CEO, a new position at the agency.Â
