Trump Treasury Pick Listed His Home for Sale Prior to Election

DJT’s choice for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made a bold forecast when he and his husband put their iconic New Orleans pink mansion on the market eight days BEFORE the election.
Trump transition team spokesman Raj Shah declined to answer questions about the TIMING of the listing of Bessent’s house—one week before Election Day—or the family’s plans to move to Washington.
“Scott will support my Policies that will drive U.S. Competitiveness, and stop unfair Trade imbalances,” Trump wrote of his pro-tariff Treasury nominee.
A trusted adviser to Trump on economic policy, Bessent donated approximately $3 million to the president-elect and other Republican causes during the 2024 election cycle.
“I was all in for President Trump. I was one of the few Wall Street people backing him,” Bessent said in a recent interview.
