Trump's Defense Nominee Pete Hegseth Accused of Abusing Women by His Mother, Who Later Regrets Email
Nov 30, 2024, 02:21 PM
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, has been accused by his own mother, Penelope Hegseth, of mistreating and abusing women. In a 2018 email sent during a contentious divorce from his second wife, Samantha Hegseth, she described him as an 'abuser of women' and criticized his behavior, citing his dishonesty, infidelity, and use of women for personal gain. Despite the severity of the accusations, Penelope Hegseth later expressed regret for sending the email, stating it was written 'in anger, with emotion' and that she had apologized to her son immediately after sending it. The email has resurfaced amid Hegseth's nomination, prompting discussions on his character and suitability for the role of Defense Secretary.
