FBI Background Check on Trump's Defense Nominee Hegseth Sent to Senate Armed Services Committee Ahead of Tuesday Hearing
Jan 12, 2025, 04:00 PM
The FBI has completed a background check on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, and the report was transmitted to the leading members of the Senate Armed Services Committee late Friday. Hegseth's confirmation hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, ahead of Trump's inauguration on January 20. The background check included interviews with multiple individuals about Hegseth's personal life, focusing on allegations of extramarital affairs, his relationship with alcohol, and his character. Some senators have expressed concerns over the thoroughness of the FBI's investigation, while a source close to Republicans on the committee described the check as 'unremarkable.' The Senate is set to begin confirmation hearings for several of Trump's Cabinet nominees, including Hegseth, starting on Tuesday.
