Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent busted out the receipts during a hearing and raised some very serious concerns about a Democrat senator’s kid with a brutal question.
As The Hillreported, Bessent testified Wednesday morning before the Senate Finance Committee on President Trump’s fiscal 2027 budget request for the department.
The White House wants $11.5 billion in budget authority for the Treasury Department’s domestic programs in 2027. This marks a 12% decrease from 2026.
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) decided to use the hearing to get personal with Bessent and the Trump Administration. Wyden had previously feuded with Bessent over the relase of deceased p*dophile Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records.
After getting smeared, Bessent pointed out that Wyden’s son, Adam, had an investment with Epstein.
Wyden accused Bessent of being a “capo” to what he described as “the most corrupt regime in American history.” But the Oregon Democrat then got completely blindsided by Bessent.
The Treasury Secretary then revealed that Adam Wyden’s largest investment was in Rick’s Cabaret, a high-end strip club.
So, Bessent had just one question:
“Did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?”
BESSENT: “Sen. Wyden has slandered the Treasury building to cover up his son having an investment with Jeffrey Epstein.”
