Hegseth’s Past Affairs Raise Concerns Over Trump’s Defense Secretary Pick
Vanity Fair reports that Pete Hegseth, nominated for Secretary of Defense, engaged in infidelity multiple times during his first marriage, leading to divorce. Subsequent marriages also ended amid allegations of infidelity, including a child born outside of his second marriage and a 2017 sexual assault allegation that he denies. These revelations, some previously unreported, are now jeopardizing his confirmation process as they raise concerns about his suitability for the position. The Trump administration reportedly was surprised by the surfacing of these past incidents.
