NEW: Flavio Bolsonaro's extraordinary getaway—which relied heavily on deception, decoys, spreading false rumors, and help from Trump allies—sparked a global guessing game that left even some of his closest allies in DC and Brazil in the dark about his whereabouts.

So…@PhilipWegmann and I happened to be mid-interview with Katie Zacharia when she was called out of her office midday on Friday.
She never returned—to the interview, or the job.

Deep dive into how Scott Bessent runs Treasury. In January, he confronted the agency’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, yelling at him in front of aides and unleashing profanities. Bessent shouted so loudly that staff working nearby could hear him, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter, @schwartzbWSJ @jdawsey1 @PhilipWegmann @GZuckerman report.
People who have worked with Bessent said he often appears calm but can excoriate staff when he is frustrated. Some aides said they ask colleagues about the secretary’s mood before coming into contact with him, and trade advice on how to avoid him when he is angry. Several officials described feeling relieved when Bessent was away from the office.
But Trump has only pulled Bessent closer, empowering him to solve stubborn problems in the economy. Bessent’s defenders argue his intense approach to the job is an asset. wsj.com/politics/policy/bess…
