Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday said people need to give President Trump more empathy after Trump posted that he was “glad” former FBI Director Robert Mueller was dead.

“I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through,” Bessent said during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Mueller led the 2016 election interference investigation into Trump, which resulted in a 448-page report that found he did not conspire or coordinate with the Russian government to influence the U.S. general election.

He also did not recommend prosecuting Trump. However, the president has remained scorned by the 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago property, which was conducted as part of former counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.

“I was with the president in the green room at Davos and there was a video playing of what may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago. They are going through his wife’s wardrobe,” Bessent told moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday.

“And I watched the look in his eye, and I think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and to his family,” the Treasury secretary added.

Trump is now seeking an unprecedented $230 million settlement from the Department of Justice over numerous federal probes into his conduct.

“You know, I brought a lawsuit, and I’m winning the lawsuit. There’s only one problem. I’m the one who has to settle it,” the president said of the legal battle last December.

“In other words, I am suing, and I’m the one that’s supposed to settle it,” he added.

The proposed settlement has been picked apart by legal experts who say the request for millions of dollars is unusual and could be deemed unethical.
