Senators learn new allegations about Hegseth in affidavit by former sister-in-law
CBSN
Washington — The former sister-in-law of Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee to become secretary of defense, told senators in a sworn affidavit that he caused his second wife to fear for her personal safety and abused alcohol over the course of many years.
In the affidavit to members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that was obtained by CBS News, Danielle Hegseth said she was married to Pete Hegseth's brother from 2011 to 2019. She recounted what she had told FBI agents who conducted a background check into Hegseth as part of the nomination process. She wrote that her statement came in response to a letter from Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the committee.
NBC News first reported on the document. Tim Parlatore, an attorney for Hegseth, denied the allegations, calling Danielle Hegseth an "anti-Trump far left Democrat."
