Hegseth Faces Intense Scrutiny in Senate Defense Hearing

Peter Hegseth, nominated to be the next U.S. Secretary of Defense, faced intense questioning in the Senate Armed Services Committee. The 44-year-old is one of President-elect Trump’s most controversial cabinet picks, with allegations of alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct circulating since his name was announced.

Hegseth, who has no political experience, was previously a Fox News host and served as an infantry officer in the National Guard, deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay.
