NEW: Media’s Latest Campaign Against Pete Hegseth Quickly Crushed, Revealed As Hoax

The media’s latest attempt to derail Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as defense secretary collapsed after allegations against him were swiftly debunked. An affidavit submitted by Danielle Hegseth, Pete’s former sister-in-law, claimed his behavior during his second marriage made his ex-wife, Samantha, fear for her safety. However, Samantha quickly denied the allegations.

In a statement to NBC News, Samantha Hegseth labeled the claims false and said, “There was no physical abuse in my marriage. I will not comment further.” She emphasized she had never authorized anyone to speak on her behalf, including Danielle, and highlighted inaccuracies in the affidavit.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed (D-RI) cited the affidavit to justify further scrutiny of Hegseth’s background. Despite the controversy, Hegseth’s nomination advanced on a party-line committee vote of 14-13, setting up a likely confirmation in the Republican-majority Senate.

Hegseth’s legal team dismissed the accusations as politically motivated, pointing to Danielle’s history of conflict with him. While the media sought to amplify the claims, they appear to have little impact on the nomination’s trajectory.
