One more cabinet pick. I'm Roger Stern, Fox News. President-elect Trump just nominated Texan Brooke Rollins to be secretary of agriculture. In a statement, the president-elect says, quote, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American farmers who are truly the backbone of our country. Fox's Eric Sean. She was White House domestic policy chief during the first Trump term, and she's CEO of the America First Policy Institute.
The Rollins nomination follows a key pick yesterday as we hear from Fox's Madeline Rivera. President-elect Trump made one of the most anticipated announcements, his choice of Scott Besant as Treasury Secretary comes after days of uncertainty and a reported fierce battle for the coveted role. Besant is the founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management.
Besson had advocated for a three by three by three approach to the economy. And the idea is to cut the budget deficit to three percent of GDP by 2028, push economic growth to three percent using tax policies and produce an additional three million barrels of oil per day. Other new picks include former NFL player Scott Turner as secretary of housing and urban development.
Republicans more optimistic about Trump's second choice for Attorney General after the selection of congressional firebrand Matt Gaetz went up in flames.
Fox's Christina Goldman with more. Trump has known Pam Bondi for years. She served as Florida's attorney general between 2011 and 2019. In Trump's nomination announcement, he said, quote, For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans. Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting crime and making America safe again.
Bondi has also served as a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, so extensive legal experience. I'm Roger Stern. America's listening to Fox News. What does the future hold for business?

Members of Congress are miffed. The nation's FBI director and Homeland Security secretary were no shows at a congressional hearing where they were supposed to testify. Fox's Chad Pergram. Two witnesses, two hearings, two days, two cancellations. FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas skipped consecutive House and Senate hearings on threats around the world.
Bipartisan lawmakers are fuming. Before he had the top job, Alejandro Mayorkas served as deputy Homeland Security secretary. Former Homeland Security Secretary Jay Johnson was his boss during the Obama years. Alejandro Mayorkas is on his way out. It's reported that the FBI director may be on his way out.
And they probably simply don't want to subject themselves to the circus that has become congressional hearings. Wallmakers offered a closed session to Mayorkas and Wray, but they did not bite. President-elect Trump vowing to make extensive changes at the DHS and FBI. President Biden hosted one of his final White House dinners to thank some longtime supporters.
The Biden administration is wrapping up in the final weeks. President Biden is here at the White House this weekend, a quiet weekend at this point now. A dinner on the South Lawn last night with several hundred people to honor the president and the first lady. Dr. Biden, as a way to say goodbye and thank you for the past few weeks.
four years. But there's still work to be done, and President Biden wants to get many of his appointed judges confirmed and across the finish line. These are lifetime appointments. Five more Biden-appointed judges are one step closer to crossing that finish line. They made it out of committee and will head to the Senate floor after Thanksgiving. Fox's David Spunt at the White House. I'm Roger Stern, and this is Fox News.
