Former President Donald Trump has denied instructing his economic advisor, Scott Bessent, to intervene in the bond market, rejecting allegations that he sought to influence financial markets through direct communication.
The denial comes amid ongoing scrutiny of potential connections between Trump’s inner circle and market-moving activities. When questioned about whether he had directed Bessent to take action in the bond markets, Trump emphatically dismissed the claims as false.
Bessent, who serves as Trump’s top economic advisor, has previously commented on various fiscal and monetary policies, but the specific allegations regarding bond market intervention remain unverified.
The story continues to develop as more details emerge about the nature of these claims and the responses from both Trump and his team.
