| 2025-06-14 |
| [Breitbart] WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breitbart News on Thursday evening that Breitbart News is in fact his "number one source" for news "every morning," and that it is the first thing he reads every day. "It’s my number one source every morning," Bessent said about Breitbart News. "It’s the first thing I click in the morning." Bessent also said he is a regular reader specifically of the Breitbart Business Digest daily newsletter from Breitbart News financial and economic editor John Carney, whom he said he is in touch with regularly. Carney just joined Bessent in London in the United Kingdom earlier this week when he, at the direction of President Donald Trump, traveled there to lead the U.S. delegation in trade talks with the Chinese government. Bessent said he enjoyed that Carney came for the trip. "John and I are in constant touch," Bessent said. "I think he is one of the top three business reporters in America. You’re lucky to have him. It was great having John in London." Bessent’s comments came earlier this week after, upon his return from London to the United States, he testified before a House panel and during an interaction with Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) he made a comment about Breitbart News when Gomez asked him about recent reports of a physical altercation between him and Elon Musk at the White House. Gomez had asked how Bessent was doing, and this is what happened next in the conversation during the hearing: |

| #1 Breitbart has a lot of good stories but, IMHO, they give too much space to the insane rants of celebrities like Rob Reiner, Bette Middler, Rosie O'Donnell and Jennifer Lawrence. We already know those people hate Trump and I don't care what else they have to say. |
