Pete Hegseth Under Fire: Allegations and Scrutiny Intensify

TL;DR Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, is facing allegations of alcohol abuse, sexual impropriety, and mismanagement during his tenure at veterans' non-profits, as reported by The New Yorker. The report, based on a whistleblower complaint, claims Hegseth was often drunk at events and engaged in inappropriate behavior with female staff. Hegseth, who was previously investigated for an alleged sexual assault in 2017, denies the claims, and his attorney has dismissed the report as baseless.
