Fox News host Pete Hegseth nominated as Trump's secretary of defense
Wife of UnitedHealthcare CEO says her husband had been receiving ‘some threats’ prior to fatal shooting
“The truth is Pete resigned his position as CEO of Concerned Veterans for America as a result of a difference of opinion as to the future of the organization and so that he could focus on other endeavors, including his relationship with Fox News,” Lair said.“Pete was not terminated by the organization and, in fact, we at CVA worked with him through this difficult decision and mutually agreed the end of 2015 was the best timing for both parties,” he added.
The article also referenced a January 2016 email sent to incoming CVA president Jae Pak from a staffer that claimed Hegseth had “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account — for partying, drinking, and using CVA events as little more than opportunities to ‘hook up’ with women on the road.”
“If you read that article, I mean, I think you come away thinking that CVA was some sort of slush fund for parties or something — and nothing could be further from the truth,” Parnell said. “The Left is afraid of disrupters and change agents. They are afraid of @realDonaldTrump—and me. So they smear w/ fake, anonymous sources & BS stories. They don’t want truth,” Hegseth said. “Our warriors never back down, & neither will I.”
“The swamp is just scared of the DOD shakeup that’s coming. Hegseth should have a hearing, like any other nominee, where he can answer any outstanding questions,” the aide added.“The bottom line is, voters gave Trump a mandate, and these lies won’t deter decorated combat patriot Pete Hegseth, or the 47th president of the United States.”
