      Nominee to Run the Pentagon - Pete Hegsethā€™s Secret History

      After the recent revelation that Pete Hegseth had secretly paid a financial settlement to a woman who had accused him of raping her in 2017, President-elect Donald Trump stood by his choice of Hegseth to become the next Secretary of Defense. Trumpā€™s communications director, Steven Cheung, issued a statement noting that Hegseth, who has denied wrongdoing, has not been charged with any crime. ā€œPresident Trump is nominating high-caliber and extremely qualified candidates to serve in his administration,ā€ Cheung maintained. But Hegsethā€™s record before becoming a full-time Fox News TV host, in 2017, raises additional questions about his suitability to run the worldā€™s largest and most lethal military force. A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ranā€”Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for Americaā€”in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.
