Hegseth's Senate Hearing Tuesday: Trump's Defense Nominee Faces Allegations Amid Veteran Support
Jan 13, 2025, 08:46 PM
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday for his confirmation hearing. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and Army veteran, faces a potentially contentious hearing amid allegations of sexual misconduct and concerns over his past statements and views. His FBI background check reportedly did not include interviews with his ex-wives or his accuser. Democratic senators, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have expressed "deeply troubling" concerns about his nomination, citing serious allegations of excessive drinking, radical views, and his support for restoring the names of military bases that previously honored Confederate generals. Meanwhile, hundreds of veterans, including former Navy SEALs, plan to march in Washington, D.C., to show support for Hegseth's confirmation.
