Politico reported Monday that Puzder was recently spotted at the White House, and that he is now under consideration for a Trump administration position.
Puzder withdrew his nomination for Labor secretary in February after Senate Republicans told him they couldn’t guarantee enough support from their party for him to be confirmed.
He faced intense criticism after allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife emerged, as well as a revelation that he employed an undocumented immigration as a housekeeper.
Puzder’s former wife, Lisa Fierstein, later retracted those allegations.
Democrats had also slammed Puzder over his record as CEO of the fast-food conglomerate CKE Restaurants, which includes chains like Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s.
However, Puzder has reportedly remained popular in the White House. On Monday, the White House press office sent out a Wall Street Journal op-ed by Puzder that praised Trump for eliminating regulations and the passage of the GOP tax plan.
