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. The email, now part of new reporting, has been seized upon as evidence of Hegseth's unsuitability for the role. Despite the seriousness of these allegations, Donald Trump’s spokesperson has tried to dismiss the damning details as "a snippet taken out of context." Michael Popok dives deep into this explosive story, analyzing the broader implications for Trump’s embattled nominee and why the Trump is so desperate to downplay the controversy.
