Trump Considers Replacing Pentagon Nominee Hegseth with DeSantis Amid Allegations

Pete Hegseth, a nominee for Defense Secretary, is facing scrutiny due to accusations of sexual misconduct. Despite Hegseth's denials of wrongdoing and lack of arrest or charge, concerns have been raised about his suitability for the position, potentially threatening his Senate confirmation. He has been meeting with lawmakers in closed-door sessions to address these concerns, but his future remains uncertain. The transition team is reportedly evaluating an alternative candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who may be considered for the position.
