A woman told police she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Pete Hegseth, according to a detailed, newly released police report. He is now President-elect Trump's choice for defense secretary.

Donald Trump‘s “controversial” Defense Secretary nominee Peter “Pete” Hegseth had reportedly made scathing remarks in the past about the President-elect that he “would not want to hear,” according to a CNN analyst.

His choice for defense secretary, Fox News host Pete Hegseth, is facing allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman in 2017 and then paid her a settlement. A separate report also accuses Hegseth of being an extremist during his time in the National Guard.
