Lindsey Graham says Trump’s Pentagon pick would release woman who has accused him from nondisclosure agreement, allowing her to testify

By all accounts, Donald Trump is sticking by Pete Hegseth, despite the sexual assault accusation and other reports of bad behavior circling around him.

Hegseth was seen with Trump, JD Vance and other top Republicans and their allies this weekend, at the army-navy football game in Maryland:

I’m in a good place with Pete unless something I don’t know about comes out. These allegations are disturbing, but they’re anonymous. I asked him point blank, were you drunk in a bar and got up and said, let’s kill all the Muslims. He said, no. There’s one allegation on a police report about sexual assault, that person has the right to come forward to the committee. But about mismanagement of money, about, you know, having a drinking problem and saying inappropriate things, all of these are anonymous allegations.

He’s given me his side of the story. It makes sense to me, I believe him. Unless somebody’s willing to come forward, I think he’s going to get through.
