Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick oversees the U.S. government’s vast efforts to monitor and predict the weather.
He also ran a financial firm, which he recently left in the control of his adult sons.

Experts say it poses a particular harm for those facing financial strain.
Lutnick has agreements to transfer his shares in Cantor companies and a family trust to his son Brandon .
The Department of Commerce referred questions about his ties to Satellogic , a satellite company that offers natural disaster imagery, to his former firm.
Cantor spokesperson says he has not made any decisions with respect to the company's investments or customer positions.
