The election of President-elect Donald Trump To lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, faced a grilling in the Senate on Tuesday as lawmakers determine whether they will vote for the nominee.
Hegseth faced intense questioning from Democrats at his Armed Services Committee hearing, including his past comments related to women serving in military combat roles, and was also interrupted by protesters who disrupted the hearing at times.
Trump nominated Hegseth in November, just days after his decisive election victory over Vice President Harris, praising him “as a warrior for the troops and the country.”Read more
