Senators received an affidavit Tuesday from the former sister-in-law of defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth in which she says his behavior caused his second wife to fear for her safety. The receipt of the affidavit comes after Senate Armed Services Committee staffers were in contact with Hegseth's former sister-in-law for several days.
The former sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth, submitted the affidavit in response to a Jan. 18 letter from Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., seeking “a statement attesting to your personal knowledge about Mr. Hegseth’s fitness to occupy this important position.”
Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, asked Danielle Hegseth to detail what she knew of “instances of abuse, or threats of abuse, perpetrated against any other person” and “mistreatment of a spouse, former spouse, or other members of his family,” among other requests.
Reed said in a statement Tuesday, “As I have said for months, the reports of Mr. Hegseth’s history of alleged sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and public misconduct necessitate an exhaustive background investigation. I have been concerned that the background check process has been inadequate, and this sworn affidavit confirms that fact."
He added that “the alleged pattern of abuse and misconduct by Mr. Hegseth is disturbing. This behavior would disqualify any service member from holding any leadership position in the military, much less being confirmed as the Secretary of Defense.”
Danielle describes in the affidavit allegations of volatile and threatening conduct by Hegseth that made his second wife, Samantha Hegseth, fear for her safety.

No affidavit from the wife? Or did she already submit?

So what did Samantha have to say to Reed? Did she submit an affidavit or just this looney bitch sister in law?

Is she married to Pete's brother?
How would a Sister-in-law have the same last name? Wouldn't she have to be married to Pete to have Hegseth as her last name?
Sloppy work libs, sloppy work.

I thought after an election it was time to accept reality and move on?
No?
This is different?
No?

I caught that as well. Not to mention derailing a nominee based on third person accusations that are unsubstantiated seems like a bullshite move.

According to NBC news:
quote:
In an email response Monday, Samantha Hegseth said: “First and foremost, I have not and will not comment on my marriage to Pete Hegseth. I do not have representatives speaking on my behalf, nor have I ever asked anyone to share or speak about the details of my marriage on my behalf, whether it be a reporter, a committee member, a transition team member, etc.” She added, “I do not believe your information to be accurate, and I have cc’d my lawyer.”
Note also that this is *not* the sister of the ex-wife, but the ex-wife of Hegseth's brother.

Women are really going to be the death of our society.
Posted on 1/21/25 at 2:10 pm to Bunk Moreland
What are the damned odds that these allegations would surface after Hegseth cleared the votes he needed on paper to be confirmed?

Guessing she was one of the women that Pete rejected and she’s lashing out

It would mean that this is Pete's brother's wife. They may have been friends somehow.

In a statement to the network, Samantha Hegseth dismissed the allegations, refusing to comment on her marriage to Donald Trump’s defense nominee, and saying that she did not believe the information shared in the affidavit was accurate.
Oh wait. The actual person who was supposedly scared to death say “no the frick I wasn’t?”
Get this garbage out of here.

Sure. Except, Samantha, the ex-wife, says it’s not accurate.

Apply the same background to a Democratic President's nominee and Reed would push them through the committee without hesitation.
