Yale classmates warn Trump Treasury Secretary Bessent he risks enabling descent 'into fascism'

A group of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's classmates at Yale University urged him in a new letter to reconsider his role "in facilitating the Trump administration's intended transformation" of the United States "into an authoritarian state."

"Scott, please take a moment to step back, look down the road a piece, and think hard about whether you want to be responsible for enabling the descent of America into fascism," says the letter, which is dated Wednesday.

"Be brave. Stand up for what you know to be right and be a voice of reason in the midst of this insanity," the letter says.

As of Friday, 140 members of the Yale Class of 1984 have signed the online letter to Bessent, a member of that class. He is also a former adjunct professor at the university, where he taught economic history.
