'Credibly accused of raping a woman': Guest sounds alarm on Pete Hegseth live on Fox News

Raw Story  

Fox News guest Lucy Caldwell, a Democratic strategist, argued that sexual assault allegations against Pete Hegseth should be taken seriously after President-elect Donald Trump nominated him to be defense secretary. On Sunday's Media Buzz program, host Howard Kurtz said that Hegseth and other nominees had faced "credible" threats of violence. "Some of Trump's cabinet appointees have been credibly accused of violent acts, including Pete Hegseth," she continued. Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni later said her office declined to press charges because there was no “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” Hegseth eventually paid the woman an undisclosed sum to head off a lawsuit, according to reports.
