Press Outlets Accuse Pete Hegseth of Domestic Abuse, But His Ex-Wife Nukes Them

With Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Secretary of Defense becoming all but certain leading up to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the attempt to Brett Kavanaugh him is now underway.

On Tuesday night, NBC News released a hit piece accusing Hegseth of abusing his second wife, causing her to “fear for her life.” Other press outlets immediately followed suit with similar reports, citing an affidavit submitted by his former sister-in-law.

On the surface, this seems serious. After all, there’s an on-record source making the claim, which is a step up from most press allegations these days. Surely, this is going to sink Hegseth’s nomination, right?

There’s just one problem: Hegseth’s second wife, the one supposedly abused, is unequivocally denying the allegations and threatening to get her lawyer involved.

But while NBC News did bother to mention the above exonerating information despite conveniently leaving it out of their headline and social media posts on the story, Politico just omitted that detail altogether.
