Pete Hegseth Says Alcohol Allegations Are 'False,' Also Vows Not To Drink On Job

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense said Tuesday that all the reports of his excessive drinking were false. Pete Hegseth also said at his confirmation hearing that he wouldn’t drink another drop if he’s confirmed by the Senate to lead the U.S. military. “Senator, those are multiple false anonymous reports peddled by NBC News that run directly contradictory to the dozens of men and women at Fox News Channel who I worked with and said they never saw that,” Hegseth said. NBC News reported in December that seven former and three current Fox News employees said Hegseth’s drinking concerned them, with some saying he showed up to the studio hungover ahead of his early morning TV duties. “The less booze thing is not working out for me,” Hegseth said on a podcast in January 2024, as part of a conversation about New Year’s resolutions, in one example the New York Times highlighted Tuesday as part of a pattern of public comments Hegseth has made about his own partying.
