Mnuchin's financial ties to the film industry have raised conflict of interest questions as he continues trade negotiations with China.
Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, one of the Trump administration's lead negotiators in China trade talks, has pushed Beijing to grant the American film industry greater access to its markets.
In 2017, he divested his stake in a film production company after joining the White House. But he sold that position to his wife, filmmaker and actress Louise Linton, for between $1 million and $2 million, the The New York Times reported on Thursday. At the time, she was his fiance. Mnuchin's 2018 disclosure, which was obtained by The Times, shows StormChaser listed as one of Linton's assets. Because the couple are now married, the asset is considered Mnuchin's. And he is owed that same $1 million to $2 million, with additional interest, from the company in 2026, the 2018 form disclosed.
