More details have emerged about a sexual assault allegation against Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host picked by Donald Trump to become defense secretary. Hegseth has been accused of assaulting a woman in a hotel room in 2017 after he addressed the California Federation of Republican Women. Hegseth’s lawyer has claimed the encounter was consensual, but The Washington Post reports Hegseth paid the woman an undisclosed amount after she signed a nondisclosure agreement.
