Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

I have long said that Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee is a one-sided kangaroo court designed to keep former President Trump from running again in 2024, with two ‘never-Trumper’ Republicans to provide it a fig leaf of bipartisan cover.

But when even CNN thinks it is, you know Democrats are in trouble.

When the Chair of the Committee can’t point to any evidence that Trump in any way directed the January 6 Capitol Riot, the committee’s relevance fades even more.

California Democrat Adam Schiff – who is the Chairman of the January 6th Commitee – joined CNN host Dana Bash for an interview on Sunday.

As reported by The Blaze, Bash noted at the end of the interview that every public witness the Democrat-led committee has called thus far only confirmed the committee’s narrative.

Bash then proceeded to grill Schiff with the following questions:

Why aren’t you calling witnesses in a public way who might challenge the committee? Is that intentional, because you don’t want to deviate from the storyline that you’re trying to present to the public and, of course, potentially to the Justice Department?

Schiff denied that this was “intentional” and claimed the committee is willing to hear from any witness who has “relevant evidence.” However, he didn’t provide any examples of any witness who has yet challenged their one-sided narrative.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy highlighted this obvious absurdity last week when he said on Fox News:

…they’ve set it up in a process that is not a fair process that’s aimed at getting to the truth and giving whatever contra arguments there are on their day in court.

And as a result, it’s more like messaging than it is like a real investigation. And if you would try this in court, you know, I could have been very impressive in court if there were no defense lawyers, you know. Like the government put on its own case, own witnesses, own exhibits, and then no cross-examination and no defense arguments. I’d have been 1000 – 0.

Indeed, any one-sided debate isn’t really a debate, much less an impartial investigation of fact.

Earlier in the interview, Bash also grilled Schiff when he claimed the committee has evidence Trump was involved in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election, saying the committee “will show evidence of the president’s involvement in this scheme.”

However, when Bash repeatedly asked whether the committee has any evidence that Trump directed it, Schiff dodged the question three separate times.

Stay tuned for even less from the Jan 6 committee as the witch hunt continues.

    Adam Schiff is the same sub-human cretan who swore he had evidence of Russian collusion. This man is a domestic terrorist and should sent to Gitmo and waterboarded for the rest of his life. His middle name is Liar Liar.

    . . . Bash also grilled Schiff when he claimed the committee has evidence Trump was involved in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election, saying the committee “will show evidence of the president’s involvement in this scheme.”

    That’s rich! Schiff and the committee have evidence! Is this the same Adam Schiff I saw on video, assuring America that he had irrefutable proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia? But in neither of the two impeachment clown shows did Schiff bring out that collusion ‘evidence’, which he would certainly have done if he’d really had it. He lied then—he’s lying now. And he lies with a remarkably straight face, doesn’t he, folks?

    If Schiff ever tells the truth, it’ll be because he accidentally slipped up.

    Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi should be indicted for inciting violence against a political enemy. This is nothing short of another Pelosi sham, fraudulent impeachment, abuse of taxpayer dollars, abuse of authority, defamation and slander of an American citizen, destruction of a political foe and an attempt to destroy Trump prior to the 2024 elections. These corrupt, lawless, swamp rats should and must be indicted to save America from their evilness and attempts to interfere with our election process.

    Barbara j Yano

    this is even more corrupt than Pelosi’s last two impeachments. It is a professional stage production with no witnesses for the defense. Just pre=selected Trump haters. The J6 committee consists of her former prossectors and Trump haters. There are no legitimate McCarthy appointtees. It is the kind of thing one sees in a Banana Reputlic, a communist regime. It is another Pelosi hoax and attmept to destroy Trump before the 2024 election. Pelosi is pure evil and should be indicted for all of her wrong-doings.

    any comity with Shiff is suspect he is a proven liar and disgrace.

    Tim Thompson

    Adam Schitt having been a big player in the Russian Gate scandal who went on camera time and time again saying he had evidence of Presidents Trumps working with the Russians. It turned out to be a complete fabrication and no evidence ever was turned up by a lengthy investigation by Robert Mueller’s team and Schitt’s inability to turn over any evidence he said he had. He was proved a liar then and him being front and center on this sham of a committee tells the American people a great deal, another witch hunt against Trump.

    Scott Wright

    I strongly believe the Adam Schitt, sorry, the Adam Schiff show needs to be flushed down the toilet!! The stench of this guy sitting so long on the pot is getting a little overwhelming!

    I don’t see how the people in California that voted for this serial and prolific liar, Adam Schiff, can live with themselves. It speaks volumes about the state of politics in California. Why don’ they let him go back to what he is apparently so good at, telling tall tales and condensing them for television. It’s what he is auditioning for every day in Congress. What a total jerk otherwise. So why can’ they see that?
