Former BB&T Corp. CEO John Allison, a potential Treasury secretary nominee, said Tuesday that his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and top aides “looked like a job interview and also I think a sincere effort to get a little advice.”
Allison said on Fox News that his meeting Monday in New York also included Vice President-elect Mike Pence and Trump strategist Steve Bannon. Two people familiar with Trump’s selection process said Nov. 23 that Allison was a late entrant to the Treasury short list.
