The Trump administration suffered another phone messaging mishap when a photojournalist exposed communications between Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Photojournalist Angelina Katsanis snapped a photo for the Associated Press last week, capturing Bessent from behind as he held out his phone at the United Nations General Assembly. The picture exposed his screen, where his text messages were open. A contact known as “BR,” believed to be Rollins, voiced alarm over the decision to bail out Argentina while it continues to sell soybeans to China at a favorable rate.
