President-elect Donald Trump's Pentagon nominee, Pete Hegseth, faces mounting allegations, including alcohol abuse, sexual misconduct, and financial mismanagement during his leadership of two veterans’ nonprofits. A whistleblower report cited by The New Yorker alleges Hegseth was frequently drunk, engaged in inappropriate behavior at a Louisiana strip club, and fostered a toxic work culture at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth was reportedly forced out in 2016 due to concerns about mismanagement. Hegseth’s attorney has dismissed the claims as outlandish.
