Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was accused of being Donald Trump’s “flunky” during an unexpectedly heated hearing of the House Financial Services Committee.
New York Rep. Gregory Meeks was among a number of Democrats who confronted Bessent on Wednesday in a meeting on Capitol Hill focused on financial stability.
Meeks questioned Bessent over reports that the Trump family’s controversial cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial had sold a $500 million stake to a “foreign asset firm” from the United Arab Emirates shortly before the president’s inauguration.
