According to Politico, to Scysia between Bessent and Pulte, the head of the agency regulating the Federal Housing Finance Agency, occurred during the inauguration of Executive Branch, a new private club in Washington gathering business leaders and elites in the orbit of Trump, co -created by the son of the president – Donald Junior.

During the party, Bessent was to approach Pulti – a rising star surrounded by the president – and loudly, threatening him with beating. The reason for the rage of the politician was to be rumors that the member talks about him and undermines his position with Trump.

– Why do you talk about me to the president? P … Si! – Bessent was supposed to say according to four sources cited by Politico. “I will gather you in this p …. face,” he threatened.

The minister was also supposed to demand the throw out of the club, saying that if he did not do it, they could both go outside so that Bessent could “put his ass”. Ultimately, men were separated, seating them on opposite sides of the banquet table.

These are subsequent reports of violent quarrels with the participation of the Bessent, who – according to the former adviser of Trump, Steve Bannon – was also to beat in the White House with Elon Musk during a fierce quarrel about the candidate for the head of the tax office. Bessent was also forced to ensure that he was not the one who won Musk's eye weeks later.

As Politico notes, the 63-year-old head of the investment fund is known for his mild public image and considered one of the more moderate voices in administration, including in the case of customs or approach to the Federal Reserve President Jerome Powell criticized by Trump.

In turn, the 37-year-old Pulte publicly called for Powell's dismissal, and also using his position, he initiated an investigation against one of the members of the Fed Governors Council, Lisy Cook for alleged deception while applying for a mortgage, which served Trump for a reason to try to release her.
