Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, was reportedly forced out of leadership roles at two veteran-focused non-profits, Concerned Veterans for America and Vets for Freedom, due to allegations of financial mismanagement, drunkenness, and fostering a hostile work environment.
Whistleblower reports detailed incidents including misuse of funds and inappropriate behavior at events.
Hegseth also faced past sexual assault allegations, which he settled privately in 2023.
Critics, including Senator Richard Blumenthal, have raised concerns about Hegseth’s suitability.
