Today, the Senate will begin a busy week of hearings to consider President-elect Donald Trump’s picks to fill out his Cabinet. Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, will be the first of 13 nominees set to go before the Senate this week.
Questions at Hegseth’s hearing are likely to focus on his views about women serving in combat roles, his plans to reorient the military’s warfighting focus, as well as allegations he sexually assaulted a woman and has a drinking problem.
