Trump has had second thoughts about Lutnick and Bessent, expressing frustration with Lutnick's presence and accusing him of manipulating the transition process for his own ends.
The contest between Lutnick and Bessent has escalated into a 'real knife fight,' with Lutnick being described as the primary aggressor in the struggle for Treasury secretary.
Elon Musk, an adviser to Trump, has described Bessent as a 'business-as-usual choice' for Treasury, while he supported Lutnick for the position in a social media post.
Trump plans to meet with new Treasury candidates Warsh and Rowan at Mar-a-Lago later in the week, signaling possible changes in his selection process.
