During a 3 September dinner at the Executive Branch Club honoring Chamath Palihapitiya, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, 63, allegedly confronted FHFA director William Pulte over rumours Pulte had been speaking to President Trump about Bessent. Bessent reportedly used profane language and threatened physical violence, telling Pulte he would punch or “beat” him and demanding that either Pulte or club co-owner Omeed Malik be removed.
