Part 2/6:
One of the most anticipated hearings will be for Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth has been at the center of controversy due to allegations involving sexual and financial misconduct, as well as issues regarding alcohol abuse. Although he denies these claims and has never faced any charges, his lack of traditional experience for the role raises further concerns. His background includes time in the Army National Guard, and it has been reported that the FBI has conducted interviews regarding his personal life as part of an ongoing background check.
