Secretary of Treasury (April, August, Dec. 7, 2025 updates) : must he divest of his ethically dubious Soybean Farmland vast holdings?

UPDATE Dec. 7, 2025

Secy. of Treasury Scott Bessent says

"I have divested from my thousands of acres

of North Dakota Soybean farmland in order

to meet a federal ethic agreement that I made early 

in 2025 as the administration was being confirmed

by the U.S. Senate and sworn in to "uphold the 

Constitution and preserve American from enemies

both foreign and domestic. . ."

Trump 2.0 Secy. of Treasury is admittedly

deficient in following Ethics admonitions

to avoid conflicts of interest

"Bessent has yet to fully divest 

assets, raising concern at ethics agency"

Three-legged expectation

Trade / Tax / de-regulation

One, "beautiful" omnibus will be the target

to get funding for the Trump - Vance

financial package that seals up the Tariff /

Fiscal Year funding into a giant "to-do" 

overturning of the regular separated budget

appropriations. . . comments by Scott Bessent.
