Scott Bessent: From Democratic Donor to Trump's Treasury Pick

Scott Bessent, Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, and his husband listed their Charleston mansion for $22.25 million just before the election. The couple, who bought the property in 2016 and renovated it extensively, are downsizing as their children study abroad. If confirmed, Bessent would be the first openly gay Treasury Secretary. The timing of the sale, just before Trump's announcement, has raised questions, but Bessent's spokesperson cited personal reasons for the move.
