“A private dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisers to President Donald Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump’s top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pulte ‘in the fucking face,’” Politico reports.
Said Bessent: “Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you. I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.”
He added: “I’m going to fucking beat your ass.”
