Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended President Donald Trump for celebrating Robert Mueller’s death, saying the president deserved “empathy” because he and his family had “been through” a lot because of various investigations.
When asked whether the president’s Truth Social post saying “Good, I’m glad he’s dead” was appropriate, Bessent argued nobody could understand what Trump had been through.
“I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through,” Bessent told Kristen Welker on Meet the Press Sunday.
“I think that we should have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family,” Bessent added, referring to the 2022 raid on the Trumps’ residence at Mar-a-Lago, which Mueller was not part of.
