Pete Hegseth Releases West Point Acceptance Letter After Academy Denies Admission
Dec 11, 2024, 03:35 PM
President Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing scrutiny over his prior claims about being accepted to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. ProPublica was reportedly planning to publish a report alleging that Hegseth was not accepted to West Point in 1999. In response, Hegseth released his acceptance letter signed by Lieutenant General Daniel Christman, the academy's superintendent at the time, preempting the report. West Point's public affairs office had previously denied twice that Hegseth applied or was accepted, raising questions about the accuracy of their records. Hegseth continues to meet with key senators, including Senator Susan Collins, to secure support for his confirmation.
