President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to oversee the entire U.S. military, former Fox Newspersonality Pete Hegseth, was confronted Thursday by a reporter who asked point-blank whether he raped a woman in 2017, as described in a police report.
“As far as the media is concerned, it’s very simple,” said Hegseth, who was on Capitol Hill to meet with senators tasked with weighing whether to approve him as the next U.S. defense secretary.
“The matter was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared, and that’s where I’m going to leave it,” he said.
