Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, was involved in a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault in 2017, local officials in California confirmed Thursday night.

President-elect Donald Trump will nominate Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be secretary of defense, the former president announced Tuesday night. Hegseth, 44, is an Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has an undergraduate degree from Princeton and a master's degree from Harvard.

The nomination of Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary has left many wondering how his experience compares to people who have previously served.
