Confirmation hearing underway for Trump's defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth
President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, is his first Cabinet pick up for a confirmation hearing, facing questions from senators on Tuesday. The confirmation hearing is one of two big stories on Capitol Hill, along with word from former special counsel Jack Smith, who believes Trump dodged a conviction in the probe into whether he tried to overturn the 2020 election.
