President Trump reportedly interviewed Heidi Cruz, the wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), for the World Bank president position.
Bloomberg News, citing unidentified sources, reported on Thursday that Trump met with the Goldman Sachs executive to discuss the role, but that he is not offering her the job.
Treasury Under Secretary David Malpass is the front-runner to fill the post, according to Bloomberg News. But sources told the news outlet that Trump has interviewed Cruz and prominent investor Mohamed El-Erian, among others, as he mulls the decision.
One person told Bloomberg News that Trump could make a decision by the end of this week.
Cruz, who joined Goldman Sachs in 2005 and became a managing director in 2012, took an unpaid leave to join her husband’s 2016 presidential campaign but later returned to the firm.

“It was an honor for Heidi to be considered by the administration as a finalist for president of the World Bank,” Catherine Frazier, a spokesperson for Ted Cruz, told Bloomberg News.

“It was an honor for Heidi to be considered by the administration as a finalist for president of the World Bank,”
Some people just have no self-respect.
Too bad Cruz threw over his principles when he boarded the Trump train. I wonder if he had any principles to begin with.
