Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's choice for secretary of defense, cheated on his first wife at least five times in his failed first marriage, according to a new report.

Summary

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, faces scrutiny over past infidelity and allegations of misconduct.

A Vanity Fair report reveals Hegseth cheated on his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, multiple times during their four-year marriage, which ended in 2008.

His second marriage also ended in divorce after he fathered a child with his Fox News producer, now his third wife.

Additionally, a 2017 sexual assault allegation, which Hegseth denies, has resurfaced, raising concerns about his suitability for the role and complicating his confirmation process.

      What are you taking about? If he wasn’t loyal to Trump, he wouldn’t have gotten the nomination in the first place.
