0:52Now PlayingPete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s embattled choice for defense secretary, may have faced the toughest grilling he’s had on Capitol Hill so far when he met Wednesday with a fellow military veteran, Republican Senator Joni Ernst.
Even as reports indicate Trump may scrap Hegseth and nominate Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, the Iowa senator could be crucial in rescuing — or tanking — Hegseth’s prospects.
Since Trump announced he wanted the former Fox News host to lead the Pentagon despite his lack of major management experience, Hegseth has been on defense, denying allegations of sexual assault, alcohol abuse and mismanagement of a veterans organization. He’s also been cited as questioning whether women should serve in combat.
