For instance, Scalia is likely to recuse himself from the Trump administration's work to come up with a new version of the so-called "fiduciary rule" put in place under President Barack Obama, which was loathed by business groups and required financial advisors to act in their clients' best interests. The rule died in court, but officials have said that they are working on a new version.that Scalia would not be involved in that work.
Trump officially announced his intention to nominate Scalia to lead the Labor Department on Tuesday after first announcing the selection in a tweet in July. Alex Acosta, the previous Labor secretary, resigned amid scrutiny of the nonprosecution agreement he reached with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein nearly a decade ago. Epstein died in jail this month in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial on new charges.
