Trump Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth, Facing Sexual Misconduct Allegations, to Testify at Senate Hearing Today
Jan 14, 2025, 12:37 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, faces a contentious Senate confirmation hearing today at 9:30 AM ET before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Hegseth, a decorated Army veteran with two Bronze Stars and a former Fox News host, is expected to be questioned on allegations of sexual misconduct, including rape, financial mismanagement, and concerns over his qualifications to lead the Pentagon. Despite strong support from some Republicans who praise him as an "incredibly talented, battle-proven leader," Democrats are preparing for a heated hearing, citing misconduct allegations and extremist links. Hegseth has committed to focusing on lethality and readiness and removing "woke" policies from the military. He has been meeting with lawmakers in recent weeks to address their concerns and will attempt to convince the committee that he is fit to serve as the next Secretary of Defense.
