US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has come under fire in Congress after repeatedly refusing to answer questions over a tax settlement involving President Donald Trump.

Democratic lawmakers accused Mr Bessent of stonewalling inquiries, with Congresswoman Linda Sanchez describing the Treasury Department as the “most corrupt” in American history.

He has defended his position, citing ongoing litigation and directing questions to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
