Pete Hegseth, nominated by President Donald Trump for U.S. Secretary of Defense, faces serious allegations regarding his alcohol use while associated with Fox News. Colleagues reported instances of him drinking before appearing on air, raising concerns about his behavior. These accusations date back to his previous roles at veteran organizations. While prominent Republican Senator Lindsey Graham labels the claims as troubling, a spokesperson from Trump’s transition team has dismissed them as ‘completely unfounded.’ Hegseth’s nomination awaits Senate confirmation, as Trump continues to shape his cabinet.
