President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is set to face a high-stakes Senate confirmation hearing today before the Senate Armed Services Committee at 9:30 AM ET. Hegseth, a former combat veteran and Fox News anchor, is expected to be questioned on his qualifications, limited leadership experience, and controversial views on defense policy issues. He also faces allegations of misconduct and sexual impropriety, which he has denied. The hearing could determine whether his nomination moves forward as he faces tough scrutiny from senators. Hegseth arrived at the hearing greeted with applause from supporters.
