Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Trump’s nominee for the Department of Defense, was accused of sexual assault in 2017 during a Republican event in Monterey, California. The allegations have been denied by Hegseth’s attorney, who asserts there was no evidence supporting the claims.
Monterey City officials released a statement acknowledging the investigation into a sexual assault accusation involving Hegseth, noting that the police report contains exempt details under state public records law.
At the time of the alleged incident in 2017, Hegseth was reportedly undergoing a divorce, which adds context to his personal situation as the allegations surfaced.
Despite the seriousness of the accusations, no charges were filed against Hegseth, and his attorney has labeled the allegations as completely false, emphasizing the lack of supporting evidence.
