Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, publicly faced senators for the first time after weeks of questions from Democrats
and praise from Republicans
about his "unconventional" resume.

The article discusses the confirmation hearing of Pete Hegseth for a position on the National Security Education Board, highlighting several key points. Hegseth, a Fox News host and former Army officer, faced intense scrutiny from Democratic senators over his past statements and actions, including his support for former President Trump and his controversial views on various issues like the 2020 election integrity and the January 6 Capitol riot. Senators questioned his ability to remain impartial in educational roles, focusing on his social media activity and public comments that suggested bias. Hegseth defended himself by emphasizing his commitment to national security and education, arguing that his personal views would not interfere with his duties. The hearing was marked by heated exchanges, with Hegseth maintaining that his military background and dedication to service qualified him for the role despite the political controversy surrounding his nomination.
