Donald Trump May Replace Pete Hegseth with Ron DeSantis to Run Pentagon: Report | Firstpost America

US President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering replacing former Fox News host Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the nominee for the Secretary of Defence. This comes as Hegseth faces backlash over his previous sexual and financial scandals, which could make it harder for his nomination to be confirmed by the Senate. Hegseth allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in 2017 and paid her as part of a non-disclosure agreement in 2020. He was also forcibly removed from veteran's charities due to his financial mismanagement, sexual misconduct, and frequent intoxication habits, reports say. Meanwhile, DeSantis, who ran against Trump in the 2024 Republican primary, has no scandalous baggage.
