The president-elect has expressed unwavering support for Pete Hegseth despite allegations of sexual assault dating back to 2017, emphasizing the candidate's qualifications.
Hegseth has denied the accusations and noted that the investigation by Monterey police did not lead to any charges, indicating a lack of legal consequences.
Trump's nomination of Hegseth as defense secretary has sparked substantial opposition, particularly due to Hegseth's controversial views on military leadership and alleged past actions.
Despite the controversy surrounding Hegseth, the transition team remains optimistic about his confirmation, with assertions that he is a high-caliber candidate.
