Hegseth Received Six-Figure Severance After Allegations of Misconduct
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, received a six-figure severance package and signed a non-disclosure agreement upon leaving Concerned Veterans of America (CVA). This followed allegations of financial mismanagement, intoxication, and sexual misconduct at CVA, along with internal disputes over Hegseth’s foreign policy stances. While Hegseth and his attorney claim the severance was standard, sources within CVA suggest otherwise, citing concerns about his leadership. Despite these controversies, Hegseth maintains he will not withdraw his nomination.
