Former Fox host's past surfaces as Pentagon nomination moves forward
Seven-year-old police report about **Pete Hegseth** emerges after his nomination for Defense Secretary. California authorities didnt press charges in the case which involved hotel conference incident
A police report from late 2017 about Pete Hegseth (Trumps pick for Defense Secretary) shows details of un-charged assault complaint that happened at Monterey hotel conference
The report describes how a woman (listed as Jane Doe) met Hegseth at the event where he was main speaker: she had drinks at hotels bar and next remembered being in unknown room. The woman told police she said “no“ many times — her memories included seeing military dog-tags and couldnt leave when trying
Hotel cameras showed both people walking together with locked arms; Doe was smiling and Hegseth was talking. The report notes that someone (name hidden) thought Doeʼs drink might have been changed‚ since she couldnt remember most things that night
The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared‚ and thats where Im gonna leave it
The Monterey DA office didnt file charges (because proof wasnt strong enough) The case details came out after media asked for records. Donald Trump keeps supporting his choice and says Hegseth will be good leader for Pentagon because of his combat-vet background
The timing matches with other news: Matt Gaetz just stepped away from Attorney General consideration after House group looked at his actions
