Pete Hegseth recently visited Capitol Hill accompanied by John Jacob Jay Hasenbein, a former Army Special Forces master sergeant with a controversial past involving violence during training.
Hegseth has consistently supported soldiers accused of crimes, arguing against military leaders for being overly progressive and insisting that the military justice system is broken.
Timothy Parlatore, Hegseth's lawyer, defended Hasenbein, describing him as unjustly treated and emphasizing the need for systemic changes in the Department of Defense.
The case against Hasenbein included charges of aggravated assault, and although he was found guilty, the case ended with a mistrial due to jury tampering.
