There may be a split in Trump's team due to a high-profile sex scandal.

Recently, the new US President Donald Trump appointed Pete Hegseth to the post of head of the Pentagon. However, at least 6 members of the Republican team opposed this decision, as Hegseth is accused of sexual harassment.

Republican senators were concerned about possible alcohol abuse and financial neglect on Hegseth's part. The latter denies the accusations, his lawyer claims that the case is closed. Trump supports Hegseth and says that the decision to appoint him as US Secretary of Defense will not be reversed.

Reporters learned that Republican senators were worried that Hegseth was being accused of sexual harassment. In addition, information about his possible alcohol abuse and financial negligence is being actively disseminated online. To be confirmed, Hegseth can only lose three votes from Republican senators, provided all Democratic senators vote against him. GOP Sen. Joni Ernst said she does not support Gegseth's candidacy and plans to question him on the charges.

Pete Gegseth's lawyer said the allegation that he assaulted the woman was “fully investigated and found to be invalid.” Did the future head of the Pentagon have any difficulties with the woman in the non-disclosure agreement, to which the lawyer replied that “there will be no other skeletons.” The situation was also commented on by Trump's communications director, Stephen Chung, who said that Trump supports Hegseth and does not intend to reverse his decision regarding him.

President Trump is nominating high-quality and extremely qualified candidates to serve in his administration. Gegseth strongly denies all allegations… We look forward to his confirmation as US Secretary of Defense,” Chung added.
