Hegseth Confirmed For DOD
As previously noted, in a last-ditch attempt to derail Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Department of Defense, Senators received an 11th hour affidavit with spousal abuse allegations against Hegseth ahead of his confirmation vote. This is the same tactic used against Brett Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the Supreme Court. It was also used against Justice Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings many years ago.
