During his Senate confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth faced scrutiny over his high income from Fox News and controversial past statements, alongside concerns over his drinking habits.
Hegseth's financial disclosures revealed an income of nearly $6 million from broadcasting and authoring, with a significant portion emanating from Fox News.
While earning $4.6 million as a salaried employee at Fox News, Hegseth could see his income drop to about $246,000 if confirmed as defense secretary.
Hegseth's author fees were substantial, including a $348,000 advance for his upcoming book, The War on Warriors, published in 2024.
