Vote To Confirm Hegseth As SecDef Set For End Of Week

Senate Majority John Thune (R-S.D.) has set up a vote to confirm former Fox News host and Army veteran Pete Hegseth to become the next secretary of defense under President Donald Trump.

The Hill reported Tuesday that Senate Republicans are pressing forward with Hegseth’s nomination despite an affidavit obtained by Senate Democrats from his former sister-in-law that mysteriously showed up this week after Hegseth was successfully voted out of the Armed Services Committee.

The document accuses him of struggling with alcohol abu s   e and being abu s  ive toward his ex-wife, Samantha Hegseth, though his ex-, in a brief statement released on Tuesday, has denied that Hegseth was ever vi  ol e nt towards her.

On Tuesday, Thune filed a motion to end debate on Hegseth’s nomination, which was advanced by the Senate Armed Services Committee in a party-line 14-13 vote just hours after Trump was sworn into office.
