In November, Mnuchin disclosed seven meetings with top Turkish officials, including that country's President Erdogan and his son-in-law Berat Albayrak in the Oval Office.
"They were directly implicated in the sanctions scheme," Wyden noted. "You met with them. Doesn't this send a horrible picture to pose in the Oval Office with sanctions violators? Is it just open season for sanctions violators in your Treasury Department?"
