Trump team worries about more allegations against defense pick Hegseth

Donald Trump's transition team is worried about potential new allegations against Pete Hegseth, his pick for secretary of defense. This concern arose after a 2017 sexual assault investigation involving Hegseth was revealed shortly after his nomination. Hegseth's selection was made quickly, following a phone call with Trump. Just a day after the announcement, a complaint detailing the alleged assault was sent to the transition team. Hegseth denies the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual. The transition team is reportedly disappointed and anxious about the possibility of more allegations surfacing, given Hegseth's past relationships and affairs.
