“Secretary Bessent, in February, you testified under oath that you would analyze Black unemployment data and report back on its impacts to the financial stability of the U.S. economy. Have you begun working on this report yet?”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official transcript shows Pressley directly pressing the Treasury Secretary about the Black-unemployment impact report; the same exchange records Bessent saying he had not seen the report, so the pressure occurred but the report’s release was not shown as completed.

Verified evidence shows Pressley publicly pressed Secretary Bessent to release the Black unemployment report and pressed the Federal Reserve to maximize employment. However, the verified passage does not show the report was released or that the Federal Reserve achieved maximum employment for all workers, so only the attributable pressure/effort component is documented, not the full outcome.
