Controversy Surrounds Pete Hegseth's Defense Role Amid Allegations

Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, faces scrutiny over past allegations of financial mismanagement and improper behavior, including excessive alcohol use. Reports suggest he was ousted from leadership roles in veterans organizations due to these issues. Despite some Republican support, his confirmation is complicated by these allegations and calls for FBI background checks. Hegseth has denied the claims, with sources close to him acknowledging past drinking issues but asserting he has since matured.
