Demand Scott Bessent's Removal as Treasury Secretary

To: Rep. Elfreth, Sen. Alsobrooks, Sen. Van Hollen

From: A verified voter in Arnold, MD

August 26

Remove Scott Bessent from the Treasury. The leaked emails from Ehud Barak's hacked account — published by Distributed Denial of Secrets and verified by journalists Jack Poulson and Harrison Berger — show a direct financial relationship between Bessent and Epstein's closest business partner. Bessent appears in those emails under the code name "Sterling." Barak was included in discussions about seeding Bessent's hedge fund, Key Square Capital, with up to $450 million. These are not rumors. The emails exist. The man with this financial history now controls the U.S. Treasury, just handed the Trump family a bank charter for their private digital currency, and Senate Republicans killed the Wyden amendment in March 2026 that would have expanded the Epstein probe to cover exactly these kinds of financial connections. That's not coincidence. That's protection. Bessent should not be running the Treasury while blocking Epstein-related financial records that could implicate him directly. Demand his removal and support a full, independent investigation into his ties to Barak and the Epstein network.
