Pete Hegseth, chosen by President Donald Trump for the Defense Secretary position, is linked to an investigation into alleged sexual assault from October 2017. The incident reportedly occurred during a California Republican Women’s Federation conference in Monterey. While police have not identified Hegseth as a suspect, he is being investigated. The Monterey police have declined to release full reports due to California public records laws. Trump’s communications director stated that Hegseth has ‘vehemently denied all allegations, and no charges have been filed.’
