At Confirmation Hearing, Hegseth Declines Warren's 10-Year Pledge, Says 'I'm Not a General'
Jan 14, 2025, 05:32 PM
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Pete Hegseth, nominee for a Defense Department position, about his stance on preventing generals from entering the defense industry for 10 years after their service. She asked, "Will you agree when you leave the Defense Department, you won't work for the defense industry for 10 years?" Hegseth replied, "Not even something I've thought about." Warren pressed further, "So every general should wait 10 years, but not you?" Hegseth responded, "I'm not a general, Senator," eliciting laughter from the audience. Warren noted, "You'll be the one in charge of the generals," highlighting the significance of his potential role.
