Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin may have made lots of money in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean he wants economic stimulus money going to the arts during the coronavirus crisis.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who made a boatload of money in the entertainment industry before joining President Donald Trump's administration, lamented that the economic stimulus package, a response to the nation's coronavirus crisis, contains money for the arts.
"They're willing to let those Americans suffer and wait so they can get all of this crap for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kennedy Center, all of this other garbage," said Hannity. Mnuchin's statements put him slightly at odds with Trump, who revealed during a press conference Wednesday that Democrats wanted $35 million for the Kennedy Center but the Republicans settled for $25 million.
