Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss topics including the armed man who was shot and killed by law enforcement at Mar-A-Lago early Sunday morning.
“Do you know if President Trump was in Washington at 1:30 am last night?” Bartiromo asked.
Secretary Bessent explained that President Trump was in Washington, DC, when the armed man was at Mar-a-Lago.
“I just spoke with President Trump. He spent the night in DC. He was here for the National Governors’ Conference,” Bessent said.
Bessent blasted the left for what he called “venom” from Democrats. He reminded viewers that there have been numerous attempts on the President’s life.
“I just want to say, why don’t we look back here and think two assassins would be dead. One in jail for life, and this venom coming from the other side,” Bessent commented.
“We don’t know whether this person was a mastermind, unhinged, or what, but they are normalizing this violence. It’s got to stop,” Bessent said.
“How is it possible that this individual could have gotten as close as he did to Mar-A-Lago last night?” Bartiromo asked.
“For anyone who has driven along there. The perimeter is, very you know, very, very protected, so, you know, we’ll see,” Bessent continued.
“The Secret Service is running so much better now than it was in Butler. New leadership,” Bessent said.
