Lindsey Graham says Pete Hegseth faces challenges in Senate confirmation due to serious allegations

Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, faces challenges in Senate confirmation due to "disturbing" allegations of sexual assault from 2017. Hegseth has not been charged. Graham previously indicated that the Senate would not judge Hegseth based solely on media reports. However, he acknowledged the seriousness of the police report detailing the allegations against Hegseth. Hegseth is also under scrutiny for claims of excessive drinking while leading a veterans' organization. Despite the controversies, Trump continues to support Hegseth as his nominee for the position.
