Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law told senators in a sworn affidavit that he made his ex-wife fear for her safety and was dragged out of multiple nightlife venues for unruly drunken behavior. Danielle Hegseth,

Senators on both sides of the aisle raised new questions on Wednesday about the vetting process for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, pointing to allegations that were not disclosed by the Trump transition team as part of Hegseth’s FBI background check that was transmitted to two key lawmakers ahead of his confirmation hearing.

In a sworn affidavit, Pete Hegseth's former sister-in-law said Hegseth's ex-wife told her she at one point "feared for her personal safety" during her marriage to him.

Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law gave an affidavit to the Senate Armed Services Committee accusing him of being “abusive” toward his second ex-wife, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by CNN.

In “The War on Warriors,” published last year, the nominee to head the Pentagon lashes out at “social justice saboteurs” and other fellow Americans.

Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, and his second wife denied the allegation that he was abusive in their former marriage.

The procedural vote on Pete Hegseth's confirmation for Secretary of Defense is set to be held today. It comes on the heels of an affidavit being released containing a previously unreported allegation over his behavior towards his ex-wife.

In a signed affidavit, Pete Hegseth's former sister-in-law claimed his ex-wife was terrified of him and hid in a closet when he threatened her.

Party loyalty remains strong even for nominees who go down. Pete Hegseth’s no different, but the Trump era has strengthened it even more.

Amid Republican claims of “anonymous smears,” a named person — and a Hegseth, at that — accuses the defense secretary nominee of abusive behavior.
