Trump Calls Pete Hegseth a 'Fantastic, High Energy' Defense Secretary Amid Misconduct Allegations
Dec 6, 2024, 04:54 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has publicly reaffirmed his support for his embattled nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, despite mounting allegations of misconduct, including sexual assault, excessive drinking, and financial mismanagement, that threaten his confirmation. Hegseth, a combat veteran and Fox News host without prior Pentagon experience, has been meeting with Republican senators on Capitol Hill to address concerns. Trump praised Hegseth as a "great student—Princeton/Harvard educated" with a "military state of mind," calling him a "WINNER" who "will be a fantastic, high energy Secretary of Defense." Hegseth stated, "I spoke to Trump this morning... he supports us fully." Despite Trump's backing, the nomination faces skepticism from GOP senators, and confirmation by the Senate remains uncertain.
