Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was back on Capitol Hill on Thursday to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on oversight of the Treasury Department.

As expected, Democrat lawmakers hyperventilated over President Trump’s tariffs, the economy and wage growth.

None of these Democrats said a word when Americans were suffering under Joe Biden’s crushing inflation and Covid vaccine policies.

Bessent was not taking any of the BS from the Democrats.

Democrat Rep. Suzan DelBene (WA) tried to dunk on Bessent over USAID and it didn’t end well for her.

“A DOGE staffer sent a file containing USAID info,” Democrat Rep DelBene said.

Bessent is not in charge of USAID.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw USAID until he turned over his role to OMB Director Russ Vought.

“Why are you bringing up USAID with me? Why? What does that have to do with me? USAID, I do NOT oversee. I wear many hats in this admin, not one to do with this,” Bessent said.

“This is payment info. Are you not in charge of the Treasury?” DelBene asked Bessent.

“That is USAID, it was not sourced at Treasury. Why are you bringing this up with me?” Bessent said.
