Senate Armed Services Committee Braces for Pete Hegseth’s Confirmation Hearing Amid Controversy
The Senate Armed Services Committee will convene Tuesday morning for the confirmation hearing of Pete Hegseth, the veteran and former Fox News host nominated by President Trump as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth’s nomination has ignited heated debate, with Democrats questioning his qualifications and citing past allegations of misconduct.
However, a newly released background check report, characterized as “unremarkable,” may improve his odds of securing confirmation.
