Eugene Scalia, President Donald Trump's appointee to replace Alex Acosta as Secretary of Labor, earned over $6.2 million last year from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

Scalia, the son of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, was formally nominated to lead the Department of Labor. According to his financial disclosures made public as part of the nomination process, that figure includes both a partnership share and a bonus from the firm, where he has worked since 2003.
