President Trump will most likely nominate attorney Eugene Scalia to be the next labor secretary, three people familiar with the matter told Politico.
Scalia is the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and is a partner at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. In 2006, he represented Walmart in the retail giant's fight against a Maryland law that would have forced the company to spend more money on employee health care.
