The former sister-in-law of Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense, has accused him of abusing his ex-wife. However, the ex-wife denies there was any physical abuse.

Long speculated as a potential GOP holdout, Sen. John Curtis said Wednesday that he supports Donald Trump's embattled defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth possesses the skills, vision, and experience needed to guide the Department of Defense through a critical time in our nation’s security landscape.

Sen. Joni Ernst’s support is a huge boost to Hegseth’s prospects, all but assuring his confirmation as defense secretary barring twists in the GOP-led Senate.

Sen. Joni Ernst said she will vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense, making the controversial nominee's path to the helm of the Pentagon more likely.
