Lindsey Graham: 'Very disturbing' reports on Pete Hegseth make confirmation 'difficult'

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that it would be "difficult" to confirm former Fox News weekend co-host Pete Hegseth as President-elect Donald Trump's defense secretary. Graham told CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane that recent allegations about Hegseth's treatment of women and alcohol abuse would complicate his confirmation hearings. In an email released by The New York Times, Hegseth's mother called him "an abuser of women." Hegseth was also reportedly forced out of leadership roles at two veterans organizations due to drunkenness and sexist behavior, according to The New Yorker.
