Trump's Defense Secretary Pick Pete Hegseth Had Five Affairs During First Marriage, Report Claims

Summary

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, faces scrutiny over past infidelity and allegations of misconduct.

A Vanity Fair report reveals Hegseth cheated on his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, multiple times during their four-year marriage, which ended in 2008.
