Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made headlines this week after a heated confrontation with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte at an exclusive private dinner in Washington D.C. The incident occurred during the inaugural dinner at Executive Branch, a new members-only club in Georgetown co-founded by Donald Trump Jr.
The confrontation happened last Wednesday evening at the club, which charges up to $500,000 for membership and caters to Trump administration officials and wealthy donors. About 30 high-ranking officials attended the event, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and other cabinet members.
