CABINET/TREASURY/TRUMP PEOPLE/STEVE MNUCHIN: “President Trump’s Treasury secretary nominee, Steven Mnuchin, has been sued again by a film financier that accuses Mnuchin and others of fraud related to the collapse of movie and TV company Relativity Media.
RKA Film Financing, in an amended complaint filed Thursday in New York County Supreme Court, renewed its claim that Mnuchin and multiple others, including Relativity founder Ryan Kavanaugh, made ‘repeated misrepresentations’ as part of a scheme designed to ‘prop up a failing media company.’
A spokesman for Mnuchin called the case ‘preposterous.’ ”
