Pete Hegseth, nominated for defense secretary by Donald Trump, faces serious allegations regarding alcohol abuse and behavior that caused distress for his second wife, Samantha. In a sworn affidavit, his former sister-in-law Danielle voices concerns about Hegseth's capability for the role and labels him unfit. Samantha Hegseth has stated that she will not comment on their marriage, denying any representatives speaking on her behalf. Meanwhile, a lawyer for Hegseth rebuts the claims, while some Republican senators defend him, highlighting a request for a thorough background investigation by Democratic senators.
"In a sworn affidavit, Danielle Hegseth says it is her personal opinion that Hegseth is unfit for the position of secretary of defense."
"The affidavit should give the Senate pause. Reports of Mr. Hegseth's history of alleged sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and public misconduct necessitate an exhaustive background investigation."
