(Washington, DC) - Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has been confirmed as the next United States secretary of defense, receiving the keys to the nation's largest federal agency. Hegseth's nomination was quickly tainted by a resurfaced sexual assault allegation from 2017. His accuser alleged that Hegseth had sexually assaulted her. The Associated Press reported that the settlement payment amounted to $50,000.
