During a heated House hearing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clashed with Rep. Linda Sánchez over a Justice Department settlement that ended certain IRS audits involving President Donald Trump, his family, and related business interests. “I hope that you’re proud of your performance today, Mr. Secretary,” Sánchez told Bessent. “I hope you get some social media clips,” he shot back. The tense exchange escalated as Sánchez criticized Bessent’s leadership of the Treasury Department, accusing him of overseeing the “most corrupt Treasury Department” in U.S. history.
