A Massachusetts man has been arrested on weapons charges after authorities say he visited the U.S. Capitol and told police that he came there to kill billionaire investor Scott Bessent on the day the Senate confirmed him as President Donald Trump’s treasury secretary.

The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.

Donald Trump’s petty crusade for revenge continues: General Mark Milley will be the next of the president’s former advisers to lose his security detail.

Ryan Michael English, 24, of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, told Capitol Police officers he would "like to turn himself in" on Monday, telling them he wanted to kill Scott Bessent, who was recently confirmed as the United States secretary of the treasury.
