Trump's Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth Dismisses Media, Answers Only to Trump and Senators
Dec 5, 2024, 08:40 PM
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, has publicly stated that he will not answer questions from the media regarding his nomination process. Hegseth emphasized that he only answers to President Trump, the 100 U.S. Senators involved in the confirmation process, and his 'Lord and Savior.' This stance was made clear during an encounter with reporters where he dismissed their inquiries, asserting that the process will not be tried in the media. Hegseth's comments reflect a broader sentiment of distancing from media scrutiny during his confirmation hearings, particularly in response to media questions about unsourced allegations.
