Sen. Lindsey Graham says Hegseth has pledged to release accuser from confidentiality agreement

CNN  

CNN — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, promised to release the woman who accused him of sexual assault from a confidentiality agreement. Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Hegseth “told me he would release her from that agreement,” adding, “I’d want to know if anybody nominated for a high-level job in Washington legitimately assaulted somebody.” Hegseth, a veteran and former Fox News anchor, has faced a tough confirmation process as allegations emerged related to his workplace behavior and treatment of women, including a surfaced sexual assault allegation from 2017. Graham’s Sunday comments come after Parlatore told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” this month that he sent a notice to the accuser’s attorney that the settlement agreement — which mandated confidentiality from both parties — “no longer has any force in effect” because it has been breached. Graham said Sunday he is “in a good place” with Hegseth and will vote to confirm him “unless something I don’t know about comes out.” “He’s given me his side of the story.
