Samantha Hegseth commented on her ex-husband’s alcohol use to investigators before his approval by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Sen. Jack Reed released details from an affidavit alleging that Pentagon nominee Pete Hegseth's ex-wife feared for her safety during her marriage.

Republicans pushed forward with Pete Hegseth’s nomination as secretary of defense on Wednesday even after a damaging report emerged claiming that his second wife lived in fear of his “abuse.” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he plans to get the full Senate to hold a final confirmation vote on Hegseth before the end of the week.

Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law gave an affidavit to the Senate Armed Services Committee accusing him of being “abusive” toward his second ex-wife, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by CNN.
