Controversy Surrounds Trump's Pentagon Pick Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for US Defense Secretary, was investigated for a sexual assault allegation in 2017, though he was not charged and denies any wrongdoing. Despite concerns over his lack of management experience and controversial views on military diversity, Hegseth's nomination will proceed to Senate hearings. The investigation, first reported by Vanity Fair, involved an alleged incident in Monterey, California, but officials have provided limited details. Hegseth, a Fox News host and veteran, has faced criticism for his conservative views and past personal controversies.
