Committee member calls 'Mister Brook' a 'well documented Trump loyalist' and questions settlement ties
Summary
A committee member criticized 'Mister Brook,' who has been serving as acting deputy secretary, calling him a 'well documented Trump loyalist' and raising an allegation about a $1,700,000,000 settlement characterized as a 'slush fund' that granted immunity from tax audits; no response from Brook appears in the provided transcript segments.
The committee member described 'Mister Brook' as "a well documented Trump loyalist" who has worked in the Treasury Building for over a year and has been serving as acting deputy secretary since April. The member said anyone nominated to be second in command at the Treasury should be able to explain any involvement in what the speaker characterized as a settlement tied to Donald Trump and described in the transcript as "1,700,000,000 in a slush fund" and "actual immunity from tax audits."
The speaker concluded of Brook: "Mister Brook did not pass the test." The supplied transcript segments do not include any response or clarifying statement from Brook or other witnesses addressing that allegation.
