  • Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth slammed his former Fox News colleague Jennifer Griffin on Friday night for reporting the news. Griffin, Fox's chief national security correspondent, tweeted a letter from Democratic members of the House Appropriations Committee to Hegseth inquiring about renovations to the secretary's government residence.

Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host, criticized his former colleague Geraldo Rivera and other critics of Donald Trump in a heated rant on "Fox & Friends Weekend." Hegseth accused Rivera, who recently left Fox News, of being a "Trump hater" and suggested that Rivera's departure was due to his critical stance on Trump. Hegseth also attacked other media figures and politicians like Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Liz Cheney, labeling them as part of a group that despises Trump. He defended Trump's actions, particularly his handling of classified documents, by comparing them to similar actions by other political figures like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, arguing that Trump was unfairly targeted. Hegseth's comments were part of a broader discussion on perceived biases in legal and media treatment of Trump.
