Bessent, Like Fed Governor, Made Contradictory Mortgage Pledges

The article highlights the contradictory mortgage pledges made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which are similar to those used by President Donald Trump to try to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The mortgage documents show that Bessent agreed to occupy two different houses as his "principal residence" simultaneously, a practice that has been employed by Trump to challenge Cook's position at the Federal Reserve. The article draws a parallel between Bessent's actions and the tactics used by Trump, suggesting a pattern of contradictory pledges being made by various government officials. This raises questions about the integrity of the mortgage and financial practices within the administration. The article does not provide further details or comment on the potential implications of these revelations, focusing solely on the factual comparisons between Bessent's and Trump's actions regarding mortgage pledges.
