President Trump's nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget has voiced serious reservations for the Labor Department's Fiduciary rule.
In 2015, Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-SC, told attendees at Commonwealth Financial Network's annual conference that Labor's fiduciary rule, which had yet to be finalized, was "awful," according to reporting in ThinkAdvisor, BenefitsPro's sister publication.
If confirmed as OMB director, Mulvaney will be both a chief architect of White House budgets, and will directly oversee the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which is part of OMB.
