Pete Hegseth plans to release his sexual assault accuser from a settlement, allowing her to go public with her allegations, despite his insistence of consensual actions.
Senator Lindsey Graham noted that, for Hegseth’s accuser to be heard, she must make her claims publicly, emphasizing the need for credible allegations and transparency.
Hegseth's lawyer Timothy Parlatore indicated that the woman likely breached the settlement, warning her of possible defamation suits if she repeats what he deems false statements.
Graham expressed his interest in understanding whether any nominee for high-level jobs has truly assaulted someone, critiquing the reliance on anonymous accusations.
