The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man with Molotov cocktails and knives who was allegedly attempting to kill House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump’s two recently confirmed nominees, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The nomination of Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary by President Donald Trump was confirmed Monday by the Senate.
The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.
Hours after Pete Hegseth cleared a major procedural hurdle in the Senate, President Trump suggested his embattled nominee may not ultimately be confirmed.
Pete Hegseth was confirmed after Vice President JD Vance cast a tie-breaking vote in support of his nomination. See how your senators voted.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to announce the immediate rescission of the personal security detail and security clearance for former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Army Gen.
Donald Trump scored a big win in Washington and visited North Carolina, California and Nevada on first trip since beginning his second term.
With his confirmation at stake, Pete Hegseth is working the phones ahead of a Senate vote to shore up support to become the nation’s defense secretary.
Donald Trump’s petty crusade for revenge continues: General Mark Milley will be the next of the president’s former advisers to lose his security detail.
A Massachusetts man has been arrested on weapons charges after authorities say he visited the U.S. Capitol and told police that he came there to kill billionaire investor Scott Bessent on the day the Senate confirmed him as President Donald Trump’s treasury secretary.
Ryan Michael English, 24, of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, told Capitol Police officers he would "like to turn himself in" on Monday, telling them he wanted to kill Scott Bessent, who was recently confirmed as the United States secretary of the treasury.
