West Point Confirms Hegseth's Acceptance Amid Senate Scrutiny of Defense Nominee
Dec 12, 2024, 03:00 AM
President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing a contentious confirmation process amid allegations regarding his military background. West Point initially claimed that Hegseth was not accepted to the academy in 1999, causing controversy and raising questions about his credentials. However, West Point has since apologized for an "administrative error," confirming his acceptance. Senators, including Susan Collins, Rand Paul, John Hoeven, John Fetterman, and Pete Ricketts, are meeting with Hegseth to discuss policy issues and misconduct allegations. Hegseth has also reversed his position on women serving in combat roles. Military personnel, including soldiers and Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, are lobbying in support of Hegseth, emphasizing his qualifications and leadership.
