The key role in Bessent’s office will be filled by Michael Friedman. As part of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, Friedman helped select staff for the Treasury Department during President Trump’s second term.
Bessent’s current chief of staff, Dan Katz, will be heading to the International Monetary Fund to serve in the No. 2 post.
The transition between Katz and Friedman is expected to take place at the end of this week, one of the sources said.
