The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.

Retired Air Force Brigadier General Chris Walker says he’s confident Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump will wipe out any remaining establishment opposition within the Pentagon.

Vice President Vance cast a tie-breaking vote as Hegseth overcame allegations of sexual assault, public drunkenness and questions of financial mismanagement to win Senate approval.

Despite allegations of sexual assault, paying off an accuser, and drinking to incapacitation on the job, Pete Hegseth was confirmed as President Donald Trump's secreta

The newly sworn-in defense secretary outlined plans on Saturday to advance the president's defense priorities.

A Princeton and Harvard-educated former combat veteran, Hegseth went on to make a career at Fox News, where he hosted a weekend show. Trump tapped him as the defense secretary to lead an organization with nearly 2.1 million service members, about 780,000 civilians and a budget of $850 billion.

After a few GOP senators, including McConnell, voted against Hegseth for defense secretary, the Senate narrowly voted to confirm him.

The newly confirmed Secretary of Defense told Fox News that there would be a ‘shift’ in military focus toward the securing of America’s borders

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pushed back against President Donald Trump’s criticism of the Biden administration's diversity initiatives.

At the White House, President Donald Trump said he was surprised that two senators have publicly said they'll vote against his nominee to lead the Defense Department.
