Donald Trump's controversial pick for Pentagon chief, Pete Hegseth, may have to withdraw due to sexual assault allegations and aggressive drunken behavior. Despite this, Hegseth vows to 'never back down,' while Trump reportedly considers other candidates like Ron DeSantis.
Donald Trump ’s controversial pick to run the Pentagon may be forced to withdraw amid growing concerns among Republicans about the allegations of sexual assault and aggressive drunkenness he faces.
“About two hours later, I retracted it with an apology, but nobody’s seen that,” she said, taking aim at the media for publishing the details.on Sunday that he was forced to step down from two veterans groups he ran due to mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety and excessive drinking. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and one-time rival of Donald Trump, is said to be still in the mix for the defence secretary role.In a flurry of announcements, Trump also tapped businessman and army veteran Daniel Driscoll to be his secretary of the army; and billionaire and commercial astronaut Jared Isaacman, an associate of Elon Musk, as the next head of NASA.
Fellow Republican Kevin Cramer has raised concerns about Hegseth’s drinking, telling CNN on Wednesday: “One of the things I’d love to hear is that he’s committed to not drinking. Being familiar with the problems of alcoholism and the dumb things we do when we drink too much, it’d be really nice if he could set that one aside for good, if not at least through his term as secretary.”
