Trump defense pick Hegseth accused of 2017 sexual assault
Donald Trump's most controversial cabinet picks just became even more so: Pete Hegseth, tapped for defense secretary earlier this week, was accused of sexual assault in 2017, according to police.
No charges were filed in the case, but shocked Trump transition team officials are nonetheless reportedly weighing next steps for the Fox News host, whose nomination took many in Washington by surprise.
President-elect Trump nominated the 44-year-old National Guard veteran on Tuesday to run the world's most powerful military, despite having never managed a large organization.
Police in Monterey, California confirmed Thursday that they had investigated «an alleged sexual assault» at a hotel involving Hegseth that included bruising to the victim's right thigh, in early October 2017.
News of the woman's accusations caught the Trump team off guard, according to Vanity Fair, which first reported the story.
