Department of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth is facing intense scrutiny not just from lawmakers but from his own family. In a stunning revelation, Hegseth’s own mother has questioned his character and fitness to serve as Defense Secretary, describing him as an "abuser of women" in an email she sent around the same time he was accused of rape.
