US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's past mortgage agreements are facing intense scrutiny following reports of simultaneous principal residence claims.
Bloomberg News revealed Bessent pledged two different houses as his primary residence in 2007, raising questions about potential inconsistencies.
Mortgage experts, however, claim there's no evidence of wrongdoing in Bessent's filings, emphasizing the complexities of such documents.
This situation parallels accusations against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, prompting ongoing political and legal battles.
