Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense, is set to face his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday.
Hegseth’s nomination has been embroiled in scandal, including accusations of sexual assault and right-wing extremism, all of which he has denied. The former Fox News host is expected to face tough questions from Senate Democrats about his past, including allegations of alcohol abuse and opposition to women in combat roles.
“There’s big issues of character that have been raised about his conduct, which has to be considered,” Rhode Island’s Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, which will conduct Tuesday’s hearing, said in an interview with USA TODAY.
