3:25 p.m.
President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser says he’s sticking around in the Trump administration for the chance to rewrite the nation’s tax laws.
Gary Cohn had sharply denounced Trump’s response to the racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, last month. Cohn, who is Jewish, was so upset that he considered resigning, according to news reports.
On Thursday, he told reporters that he’s sticking around in the Trump administration because of the president’s plan for tax cuts. He said, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” He added that he would “never miss this.”
