WASHINGTON, D.C. — (September 8, 2025) — In a shocking escalation of political drama, openly gay Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent erupted on Federal Housing Finance chief Bill Pulte after learning Pulte had been speaking negatively about him to President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports from the dinner at Washington’s private Executive Branch club. Witnesses say Bessent threatened to “punch [Pulte] in the f—— face” before doubling down with “I’m going to f*cking beat your ass,” prompting intervention by club co-owner Omeed Malik.

This isn’t the first high-profile blow-up for the Treasury Secretary. Back in April 2025, Bessent and Elon Musk engaged in a heated West Wing shouting match over IRS leadership — loud enough that aides said it looked like “WWE in the hall.” Some follow-on accounts have characterized the run-in as potentially more than verbal, though official parties did not confirm any physical contact.

The Pulte confrontation comes amid a high-stakes turf fight over housing finance policy — including talk of privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — and broader power jockeying over how the administration handles the Federal Reserve.
