West Point Apologizes for Misinformation on Hegseth's Record, Cotton Demands Investigation
Dec 11, 2024, 07:15 PM
West Point has issued an apology for an 'administrative error' where it falsely claimed that Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, was not accepted into the military academy. This misinformation was provided to ProPublica, which had been investigating Hegseth's military background. The error was only corrected after Hegseth provided evidence of his acceptance. Senator Tom Cotton has called for an investigation into the incident, suggesting political interference. The incident has raised questions about the integrity of West Point's public affairs office, with some calling for the removal of those responsible for the disinformation campaign.
