Hegseth attorney pushes back against latest accuser
The attorney for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth pushed back on the latest claims against President Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon in a letter sent to the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
In the letter, obtained by NewsNation, attorney Timothy Parlatore wrote to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) telling him the person who came forward with the latest allegations against Hegseth – Danielle Dietrich, the ex-wife of Hegseth’s brother – was a “lifelong Democrat” and had issues with her “credibility and bias.”
Parlatore quoted Dietrich saying she had “been assured that making this public statement will ensure that certain Senators who are still on the fence will vote against Hegseth's confirmation.”
Parlatore added: “She is openly admitting that her purpose is to sink the nomination and has been promised by Democrats that such a statement would have that effect.”
