The Senate's consideration of Pete Hegseth's nomination for Defense Secretary is complicated by serious allegations from his ex-sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth. She claims Hegseth was abusive to his second wife, Samantha, citing instances that raised concerns for Samantha's safety, including the use of a safe word during domestic disputes. Hegseth's attorney refutes these claims, suggesting they arise from personal grievances. The affidavit has raised questions about Hegseth's suitability for a position that is critical to the military and national security, as senators proceed with their evaluation of his nomination.
I have chosen to come forward publicly, at significant personal sacrifice, because I am deeply concerned by what Hegseth's confirmation would mean for our military and our country.
The affidavit describes Hegseth's treatment of his second wife, Samantha, and alleges repeat drunkenness and a domestic situation where Samantha Hegseth had a safe word to indicate if she was in danger at home.
Tim Parlatore said the affidavit was filled with belated claims by an ex-relative with an axe to grind against the entire Hegseth family.
