Politico reports:
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday tapped businessperson and major political donor Bill White to serve as U.S. ambassador to Belgium. White is the founder and CEO of Constellations Group, a Manhattan-based consulting firm, and previously served as president of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York.
White abruptly stepped down from his post leading the Intrepid in 2010 amid a probe launched by New York’s then-Attorney General Andrew Cuomo into a state pension scandal.
White allegedly acted as a middleman for investment companies hoping to win deals with the state fund, and “secretly” amassed fees from those deals — or as Cuomo put it, “used his access to fill his pockets.” White ultimately agreed to pay a $1 million settlement.

White last appeared here in 2022 when Georgia lawmakers blocked his attempt to carve out a wealthy, mostly white Atlanta neighborhood into a standalone city.
He appeared here in 2021 when he launched a super PAC to unseat the ten Republican House reps who voted to impeach Trump.
You may recall the 2018 New York Times report on how White and his husband abandoned a lifetime of liberal advocacy to join the cult.
Donald Trump just tapped Bill White as Ambassador to Belgium.
You know, the guy who agreed to pay a $1,000,000 fine to settle charges that he was involved in the state pension fund pay to play scandal in 2010.
Did he pay to play this time too?
What an utter disgrace.
