The 22-page police report was released in response to a public records request and offers the first detailed account of what the woman alleged to have transpired - one that is at odds with Hegseth's version of events.
Hegseth's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Thursday. He has said Hegseth paid the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit.
A spokeswoman for the Trump transition said early Thursday that the 'report corroborates what Mr. Hegseth's attorneys have said all along: the incident was fully investigated and no charges were filed because police found the allegations to be false.'
