'Blatantly lying': Economists whack Trump official's attempt to blame Biden for turmoil

Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday tried to shrug off turmoil in the American economy by placing the blame for any troubles on former President Joe Biden.

During an appearance on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox Business, Bartiromo grilled Bessent about the CEO of a major company who told her recently that they believed the United States had already entered an economic recession.

Instead of directly addressing the question, Bessent tried to shift blame away to the former president.
