Read our privacy policy C-SPAN host Mimi Geerges was forced to correct Republican Rep. Rich McCormick on Wednesday when he insisted that Pete Hegseth does not know the identity of the woman accusing him of sexual assault, only for the Georgia lawmaker to double down on his false claim. The Georgia congressman also said that all the complaints were “anonymous” and that Hegseth asserted that he didn’t know who was accusing him. C-SPAN host Mimi Geerges interviews Rep. Rich McCormick about Pete Hegseth’s nomination. Hegseth, who has described the encounter as “consensual,” said that he settled with the woman because he feared he’d lose his job at Fox News if the lawsuit went public.
