In multiple interviews on NBC’s Meet the Press on March 22, 2026, Scott Bessent did not claim he was physically present at Mar‑a‑Lago during the FBI search. Instead, he said:
He was with President Trump in the green room at Davos, where a video was playing of what he described as “what may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar‑a‑Lago.”
He described the video as showing agents “going through his wife’s wardrobe.”
He repeated this same description in other coverage, always referencing watching a video, not being physically present.
