Hegseth did not mention the 'Deus Vult' tattoo in these interviews, even though it was flagged as an insider threat due to its supremacist associations.
The associated press reported that another National Guard member flagged Hegseth as a possible 'insider threat' before the inauguration over his 'Deus Vult' tattoo.
Steven Cheung, a Trump transition team spokesperson, defended Hegseth, stating, 'With Pete as our Secretary of Defense, America's enemies are on notice and our military will be great again.'
Hegseth claims his Jerusalem cross tattoo is a Christian symbol, yet the 'Deus Vult' phrase tied to extremism went unmentioned in his public statements.
