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.

New documents released under a federal lawsuit detail how the Biden White and then-President Joe Biden’s personal lawyers bullied the Justice Department into covering up Biden’s declining mental state.

The non-profit public interest law form Judicial Watch announced it “received from the U.S. Department of Justice in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit 49 pages of records detailing pressure asserted by Biden White House and Joe Biden’s personal lawyers on Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding the October 2023 interviews of then-President Biden in the criminal investigation into his theft, retention, and disclosure of classified records.” 

“We are pleased to hear that the Trump Justice Department plans to release the Biden audio tapes in response to Judicial Watch’s FOIA lawsuit,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These new records further show how desperate the Biden gang was to hide the full truth about Biden’s failing memory – and criminality.”

The release comes after Judicial Watch filed a July 2024 FOIA lawsuit against the Justice Department for “all communications about the Hur report with the Office of the White House Counsel and Biden’s personal lawyers.”

The release included the non-disclosure agreements signed by Biden’s lawyers.

Judicial Watch reports it “has several ongoing FOIA lawsuits about Biden’s document scandals and the related unprecedented partisan prosecutorial and judicial abuses of former President Donald J. Trump.”

“In April 2025, Judicial Watch uncovered Justice Department records showing White House staffers suggesting edits to transcripts of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding his handling of secret documents,” they report.

“In February 2025, a federal court ordered the Department of Justice to declare whether it intends to continue denying Judicial Watch’s request for the full audio of former President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The Trump Justice Department has until May 20, 2025, to report its position on the release of the videotape,” Judicial Warch reports.

They add, “in June 2024, the Biden administration was forced to admit that the transcripts of audio recordings of Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Hur had been altered and are not accurate.”

The new records obtained by Judicial Watch reportedly include “an October 18, 2023, letter, just a few days after Hur’s interviews of Biden, from Special Counsel to the President Richard Sauber and Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer to Hur, they express concerns about the release of the report:”

At our meeting last Friday, we requested that you provide an overview of where matters stand in this case, particularly any remaining questions or concerns we should address. We also asked for the opportunity to discuss your expected report to the Attorney General at the conclusion of the investigation, including time to review it prior to its submission to the Attorney General. You advised us that you were not prepared to engage with these requests at that time but would take them under consideration.

***

Moreover, to the extent that your report touches in any way upon procedures in this or prior administrations for the handling of sensitive national security information, your report will also be read with intense interest in every foreign capital. It could affect the national security interests of the United States in ways that none of us can anticipate.

An October 31, 2023, email from Sauber to the Special Counsel’s Office documents the repeated efforts by the Biden legal team to review the report before its release. The letter states:

In our October 18 letter to you, we asked to have the opportunity to review and comment on a draft of the “confidential” report that you are required to write under the Special Counsel regulations. We also noted that we would follow up on the subject of the Special Counsel’s “final report” requirement more broadly.

***

At a minimum, the report should adhere to the kind of product contemplated by the Special Counsel regulations. As discussed, in contrast to the detailed independent counsel reports setting forth a “full and complete” description of their work, the Special Counsel regulations contemplate only that the Special Counsel will “explain[] the prosecution or declination decisions.” … We support your faithful fulfillment of this requirement. But, consistent with the Department’s description of a “limited” and “summary” product, … , the report should be economical. It should include the factual information necessary to the charging decision, but facts or events that are not essential to the decision have no place….

In a December 15, 2023, letter Sauber and Bauer reiterate the request and also ask for access to the classification review of the materials found and the return of the records of a personal nature to Biden.

    Democrats, the socialists, the far left, the communists, prevaricators, anti-Americans, anti-constitutionalists, corrupt thieves, racists, antisemites, anti-Christians anti-white males! The Bidens, Obamas, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Omar, Tlaib, Crocket, Pressley, AOC, Swalwell, McConnel, Collins, enemies of the state that should have been unseated years ago. They continuously rob their constituents of their tax money and take away more and more of citizens rights and freedoms. Who are the constituents that keep electing and re-electing them?

    DMB

    In other words for sure during Bidens first year in office he was suffering from mental decline and incapable to making rational decisions, he staffk lawyer, and wife were making them for him. We did not elect his staff, his laywers, or wife to office. Article 25 should have been envoked but a concentrated effort was made to lie to the Nation to keep him in place so the Democratic Party, his staff, and family could benefit from his time in office. It this is so, then anything he signed into Legislation by real hand or auto signature should be ruled invalid by the courts. You cannot have a POTUS of deminished mental capacity continue to exercise the duties of a POTUS if he is unable to comprehend and act accordingly. At minimum, the Adam Schiff illegal Pardons that were issued to several questionable people should be considered invalid. Even his son’s pardon, which he had previously said lhe would not give a pardon to, but later after deminished mental capability, should be ruled invalid. DOJ and FBI should be investigating this latter stages of his presidency in detail as even Joe Biden does not remember authorizing these pardons or of ever signing them.

    I would like to point out a typo in the first sentence, where it says “…Biden White and…” You left out “House”, should have read “Biden White House”.
