Fox Business Anchor Criticizes Trump Administration for Lack of Economic Transparency

Dagen McDowell accuses White House and Treasury officials of ignoring media requests to address economic concerns during a period of market instability.

Fox Business anchor Dagen McDowell publicly criticized the Trump administration for not responding to her team's requests for interviews on the state of the U.S. economy.
McDowell expressed frustration over the lack of communication from White House and Treasury officials, calling it 'shameful' during a segment on 'The Big Money Show.'
She specifically called out Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for choosing to appear on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' instead of addressing concerns on her network.
The criticism comes as the U.S. economy faces uncertainty, with fluctuating tariffs and fears of a potential recession under the Trump administration.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and President Trump have described the current economic challenges as part of a 'transition period' following previous policies.
