said Thursday that it is adding former Biden administration Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo to its board of directors.

The announcement came nearly a week after Costco filed a federal lawsuit seeking to recoup money that the retail warehouse club giant has paid so far this year to satisfy the legally disputed tariffs summarily imposed by President Donald Trump.

“We are very pleased to nominate Secretary Raimondo for election to our Board,” Costco Chairman Tony James said in a statement.
