ELIZABETH WARREN: Do you agree that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks?
BESSENT: President Trump is not sitting in the Oval Office engaging in a high-frequency trading strategy. Clearly he had an outside manager who was doing that. Congress should get their house in order before you move to the executive branch
WARREN: You think it's okay for the president to do this? You know better.
Hearing on 'The President's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget for the Department of the Treasury', with testimony from Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday, are that “no living person can be on U.S. currency, and the currency must say ‘In God We Trust.’”
But that first mandate may soon be done away with in order to make way for President Donald Trump to appear on a commemorative $250 bill. That would require a change in law, which the Republican-led Congress is reportedly considering ahead of the U.S. Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026.
Last year, Rep. Joe Wilson (R, S.C.) introduced the ‘Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act,’ which was referred to the House Financial Services Committee. If the legislation, which a GOP aide told NBC News has been greenlit for a committee hearing, ultimately passes into law, that would “change the first requirement so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, could be on a $250 bill,” Bessent said at a White House press briefing, adding that the Treasury has begun making preparations for that possibility.
