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.

The FBI has launched an investigation into multiple Democrat lawmakers who recently filmed a video telling military members they are not obligated to follow illegal orders. 

The bureau began scheduling interviews with the lawmakers shortly after former President Trump called the group “traitors” and said the video amounted to “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Several lawmakers featured in the video confirmed they had been contacted by federal investigators.

“Last night, the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video he did not like,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), a former CIA officer, wrote Tuesday on X.

“The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his [perceived] enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet,” she continued. “He uses legal harassment as an intimidation tactic, to scare people out of speaking up.”

The video shows the six lawmakers — all with military or intelligence backgrounds — speaking directly to active-duty service members and reminding them: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.”

House members who participated — Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) — said they were contacted by the FBI through the House Sergeant at Arms.

    Slotkin, we know who you work for…you will be indicted by a military tribunal because of your insolence and your ignorance of the standards you disregarded…not because of what PDJT said…which is the truth, btw…!

    In regards to the illegal orders story, why should any military person have to expect an illegal order unless he’s given the order by a real dumb ass. The FBI should go after the dumb ass. So this calling these people expressing the view that such orders be ignored are not traitors, etc. but forecasters of illegal activities.

    This takes the cake for Democrats being ABSOLUTE idiots and to believe they served in the Military. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OUR MILITARY morons!!! They teach Chain of Command to our youngest soldiers, ones that are learning to take ORDERS with the intent of forming a Unit that everyone trusts with their lives. The remarks made by disgraceful former Military individuals need to be held responsible and made an example of AND NO KELLY – not death. Trump was only stating the LAW, not asking for your death idiot. It was the right move for Hegseth and I hope it has some teeth to it. TRAITORS

    Exactly how the people who only walked into the Capitol were hunted down, their social media accounts scrutinized and were imprisoned indefinitely with no bail and no trial, TO STOP PEOPLE FROM SPEAKING OF THE RIGGED ELECTION.

    Mark Kelly rode Gabby’s sympathy to the senate in AZ. He is a creep and Gabby is just propping him up. He is a liar, a cheat and a thief. Now he and his recovered wife from a gun DNC goofie idiiot backs his agenda. AZ for the most part does not though Mark won on one of the overnight unsupervised counts in AZ. The dimwits have been doing this since 2018 and perfecting those stealing steps overnight.

    Bigs is running against the dimwits in 2026 for governor. And it would be real great to dump this criminal before those elections. Gabby and her cheating man who literally knows better than to start sedition in these troubled times because he was military and knows how bad what he did is. He just counted on the GOP ignoring it and lettimg him run his big mouth encouraging nuts like the one who shot his wife. Put him on the stand and kick his ass in jail. Sedition is a prison term and I would love to see this creep in a federal prison with sedition charges. He did it, he deserves the charges!!! Adios Kelly pendejo!
