President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is considering pairing Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve official, in the Treasury secretary role, with hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as director of the White House’s National Economic Council, according to people familiar with the matter.

Bessent discussed the NEC and Treasury posts with Trump last week, according to people familiar. Warsh has been invited to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, where transition efforts are based, to interview with the president-elect in coming days, they said.
