Hegseth Quit Vets Groups Over Misconduct Claims, New Yorker Says

Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Department of Defense, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, was forced to resign from two veterans’ advocacy groups amid allegations of personal and financial misconduct, the New Yorker reported.

A 2015 whistleblower report obtained by the magazine described Hegseth as repeatedly intoxicated on the job as president of Concerned Veterans for America. The report also alleges that Hegseth and members of his management team pursued sexual relationships with the group’s female staff and ignored accusations of misconduct.
