Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and favored pick by Donald Trump for U.S. Secretary of Defense, faces resurfacing allegations of sexual assault from 2017, confirmed by Monterey police. The incident reportedly involved an alleged assault at a hotel, although no formal complaints were filed. His nomination is now under scrutiny, raising concerns within Trump’s transition team. Hegseth, who has a contentious history regarding progressive military policies, would oversee 3.4 million military and civilian personnel and manage a budget exceeding $850 billion if confirmed by the Senate.
