Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Pete Hegseth, nominated as Secretary of Defense by President-elect Trump, is facing renewed scrutiny following details of a 2017 sexual assault complaint. A police report shows the alleged victim claimed Hegseth blocked her from leaving a hotel room and took her phone. While Hegseth asserts he was 'cleared,' the investigation led to no charges primarily due to a lack of sufficient proof. Hegseth has also settled with the accuser confidentially. Despite the allegations, many Republican senators continue to support his nomination.
