Trump reportedly gives this loser a Cabinet post after costing her a Senate seat
Donald Trump is expected to pick former Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia as secretary of agriculture, CNN reported on Friday, putting one of the wealthiest people to ever serve in the Senate in charge of administering the food stamps program.
The appointment appears to be yet another corrupt deal as well. Trump’s social media company is reportedly in talks to buy Bakkt, a cryptocurrency company that Loeffler and her husband helped build. Loeffler served as the company’s founding CEO, and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is the CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, which owns a majority share in Bakkt.
Loeffler was also the owner of the Atlanta Dream, a WNBA team, which she sold in February 2021 after receiving backlash from players on the team over Loeffler’s criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement.
But Loeffler is best known for her short-lived career in the U.S. Senate.
