Live Updates: Hegseth Nomination In Jeopardy

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s embattled pick for Defense secretary, is facing growing scrutiny on Capitol Hill — but says he won't back down from the fight.

Hegseth has already been the subject of accusations of sexual assault stemming from a 2017 encounter he says was consensual. But fresh revelations emerged over the weekend involving alcohol abuse and sexual misconduct in his past.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that President-elect Trump is considering replacing Hegseth with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), the onetime presidential hopeful.
