Trump Appoints Another PEU


Trump II appointed a former tech CEO whose company had billions in private equity investment.  William Hague is the former CEO and Vice Chair of Tillman Infrastructure.  In 2022 Tillman got $1 billion from Carlyle.


The company took on more private equity loans in 2024.


Hague worked for a private equity underwriter (PEU) funded outfit until he joined Trump II's administration.  

Hague knows Carlyle, Apollo Oak Hill, HPS and Northleaf so he's a good fit for any modern administration.  Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.
