A Trump loyalist is at the center of new allegations facing Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary.
Monterey, California — The battle over President-elect Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, may become a test of loyalty for Republican stalwarts — some of whom stood at the center of a bid 10 years ago to remove Hegseth as the head of a veterans' charity over allegations of financial mismanagement, repeated intoxication and sexual misconduct.
Hegseth also did not comment when asked if he was concerned the latest allegations could derail his nomination as defense secretary.Duff was his most outspoken critic in private circles until Hegseth was announced as Trump's pick for defense secretary, according to the Republican sources who spoke with CBS News. But now, Duff publicly supports his impending nomination to lead the Defense Department and has defended his controversial opposition to women serving in combat.
