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.

U.S. Border Patrol arrested an individual on the FBI’s terror watchlist after they crossed the border alongside a group of migrants in San Diego County, California.

Fox News first reported the arrest of the unidentified Afghan national. The FBI confirmed their identity and took control of the investigation.

Responding to the news, one member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors placed the blame squarely on the doormat of the White House. Supervisor Jim Desmond condemned the administration in a statement: “The presence of an individual on the terror watchlist crossing our borders is a stark reminder of the failures of the federal government that are now being put on San Diegans and Americans.”

“The open border policy has allowed fentanyl to pour into our country, asylum seekers to be human trafficked, and terrorists to attempt entry into our country,” Desmond continued.

The Daily Wire has more on his reaction:

“The protection of our citizens, the preservation of national security, and the facilitation of safe and legal immigration should be a top priority for this administration, yet they have failed,” he added. “The presence of an individual on the terror watch list crossing our borders is a stark reminder of the failures of the Federal Government that are now being put on San Diegans and Americans.”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) confirmed the report, and went one step further, saying that the individual was “a wanted terrorist.”

“Biden’s open borders aren’t just a gateway to five million illegals, record human and child trafficking and the deadliest drug crisis in our history,” Issa said in a statement. “Biden’s reckless policy is also an open invitation to even the most wanted terrorists in the world to come to America.”

“They know they’ll never have to leave,” he added. “The nation knows what’s going on and this president has only begun to be held accountable for what he has done!”

    This isn’t any surprise to the citizens that have been paying attention. After all creepy Joe gave the Taliban and their terrorist friends 85 billion dollars of military hardware. Biden is trying his hardest to destroy your nation, and he is being extremely successful!

    The border is and will contiue to be open under the democrats because it is key the their overall plan to bring down America. All factual evidence supports my statement, but the MSM and left-wing propaganda has blinded most Aemticans to the truth. Wake up America before it is to late.

    And george sorus is the man behind all. I also believe that biden is in cahots with the cartels and gets money from them to put in his pocket.

    So with all this horrible news, American citizens deserve to know how and why this has happened. No excuses, we want our country protected, not just today and tomorrow but months and years ago. If nothing else our super military needs to do its duties especially on our own borders. I think Americans have a right to protect our sacred homeland soil, we have a right to say NO to illegal immigrants, we have a right to defend our country, we have a right and duty to protect our children and citizens against the monsters that lurk at our borders. The President is NOT doing his duties. I take our country serious and its time to step up as a concerned citizen and end this sham of protecting us the American people. We have listened to this long enough and now its time to do something, WAKE UP AMERICA WE CANNOT STAND BY ON THIS TERRIBLE OVERTAKING. The American citizens must protect our borders, we must defend our country.
