Trump's Budget Director Didn't Pay $15K in Taxes; Trump's Army Sec. Accused of Punching Man in Face
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More controversies are surfacing about some of Trump's other choices for
top positions. The Washington Post reports South Carolina Republican
Congressmember Mick Mulvaney, whom Trump has tapped as budget director,
did not pay $15,000 in taxes for a household worker from 2000 to 2004.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reports billionaire Wall Street investor
Vincent Viola, whom Trump has tapped to be Army secretary, was accused
this past summer of punching a concessions worker in the face at a
racehorse auction in Saratoga Springs, New York.
