The roster grows. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. President-elect Trump rounds out his cabinet, naming his pick for Treasury Secretary after much anticipation. After days of uncertainty, President-elect Trump made his choice for Treasury Secretary. Scott Besant is the founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management. Before that, he worked for years at an investment firm run by George Soros.
Trump chose Republican Congresswoman Lori Chavez, Dara Mayor from Oregon, to head the Labor Department. Former NFL player Scott Turner as head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Turner also served in the Texas State House. Trump made several announcements for health-related roles as well. He chose Dr. Marty Makary as FDA commissioner, Dr. Jeanette Neshwat as surgeon general, and Dr. Dave Weldon as CDC director.
Fox's Madeline Rivera, Dr. Macari drew some controversy by speaking out against lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Trump's sentencing is delayed in his New York state trial for falsifying business records. Trump's team is celebrating this as a win. Here's where we stand right now. Sentencing is delayed with President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers set to file their motion to dismiss the case by December 2nd. Then Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg's office needs to respond immediately.
To that, by December 9th, separately, Judge Mershon is pushing off his decision on presidential immunity. Trump's lawyers, including his pick for deputy attorney general Todd Blanch, wrote Mershon this week, arguing the case interferes with Trump's preparations to return to the White House. But prosecutors want to stretch the case out more than four years and sentence Trump after his second term.
And that's Fox's Nate Foy. Trump attorneys arguing that Judge Mershon should overturn the guilty verdict altogether on the grounds of presidential immunity, citing the Supreme Court's ruling that some presidents do have broad immunity from prosecution for so-called official acts. America's listening to Fox News.

Republican lawmakers may be quick to make cuts to federal spending and target jobs they feel are unnecessary. Fox's Hillary Vaughn on Capitol Hill. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she cannot wait to get to work gutting useless government agencies that she says is wasting taxpayer money. Greene does have a business background. She ran a construction company, so she's no stranger to using the power tools which may be necessary for the sizable amount of cutting that needs to be done from the government budget.
Green saying one of the top orders of business will be giving people the pink slip, saying this, quote, in government, bad employees, whether they're failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed, never get fired. This is incredibly unfair to the hardworking taxpayers of our country, and it's about to change. Green and Comer have already met with Vivek Ramaswamy and the Doge team. They're going to be working hand in hand to find every wasted penny.
That upcoming Department of Government efficiency is said to be led by Tesla founder Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Congress furious after the heads of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security didn't show up for public safety hearings. Christopher Wray and Alejandro Mayorkas may have sparked bipartisanship. Democrats and Republicans are fuming after the duo skipped a pair of hearings on global threats yesterday.
This week, there's the risk of terrorism, possibly fueled by those in the country illegally. Wray and Mayorkas offered to brief lawmakers behind closed doors. Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Gary Peters called the lack of transparency, quote, a blow to trust. Wray would not openly share with Congress what keeps him up at night, but he was candid at a dinner for the FBI.
Fox's Chad Pergram on Capitol Hill. And Pakistan is sealed off the capital of Islamabad ahead of a planned rally by supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan. I'm Paul Stevens and this is Fox News.
