It turns out that, in addition to having paid a settlement for an alleged rape, Hegseth also allegedly mis-used funds at two of the veterans groups he ran AND was "repeatedly intoxicated" while acting in his official capacity.

The very conservative Koch Brothers, financial backers of the CVA, had CEO Hegseth fired.

This is what happens when you vet people incompetently. This guy knew he was out of his depth and withdrew.

The Wall Street Journal (highly conservative and owned by Murdoch) says Trump is considering replacing Hegseth with FL Gov. Ron DeSantis.
This is what happens when you're careless in checking out your nominees. It's very comforting to know Trump is just as incompetent as ever.

accepting.  He want's to be prez after governor, not in a Cabinet post.  If Trump does offer it, I think he's just trying to clear the field for J.D. Vance in 2028.

populist choice and really doesn't have the depth of experience in my opinion.  Combine this with his character flaws, and it's a tough sell to the Senate.

Are you trying to supplant ChicKenShit as our board's "most reasonable and intelligent poster?"

I'm intelligent all of the time, but only reasonable SOME of the time to most Dems.

We need folks like Robert Gates and Leon Panetta to lead such a vast, complex, vital organization.

His lawyer appeared on CNN and clarified that it wasn’t an NDA, it was a confidential settlement. He said they have grounds to sue her for breach of confidentiality.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal is accusing Pete Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, of witness intimidation because Parlatore suggested that Hegseth may sue the woman who accused him of sexual assault and received a settlement if he doesn’t get confirmed.
