[U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant Revealed to Have Listed Two Properties as "Primary Residences"] Mortgage documents reveal that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant agreed to simultaneously list two different properties as his "primary residence." This is reminiscent of the contradictory agreements cited by Trump in his attempt to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. In 2007, Bessant signed contradictory agreements listing properties in both New York and Massachusetts as his primary residences. However, mortgage experts point to no evidence of impropriety. This case demonstrates that inconsistencies in home loan documents do not necessarily constitute evidence of fraud. Other evidence from Bessant's mortgage indicates that his lender, Bank of America, did not rely on these agreements and never anticipated that he would use both properties as his primary residences.
