An attorney for defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth sent a letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS) on Wednesday, attempting to discredit new allegations detailed in an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law.

I haven’t criticized former clients, but watching my old friend debase himself before a manifestly unqualified Pentagon nominee forces my hand.

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

From the moment he rode down that golden escalator in Trump Tower nearly a decade ago, Donald J. Trump reshaped the nation’s politics — and he continues to do so today with his hodgepodge of Cabinet picks that includes billionaires and media darlings, eccentrics, and rhetorical bomb-throwers.

In a private vote, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved Mr. Hegseth’s nomination strictly along party lines on a vote of 14 to 13, with Republicans voting as a bloc to move it to the floor and Democrats unanimously opposed.
