It says she's Pete's former sister in law but her name is Hegseth. So she's Pete's brothers ex wife.
Also, Pete's ex-wife says there was no abuse, doesn't believe the comments are accurate, didn't authorize anyone to speak on her marriage and doesn't wish to speak on it herself. Why is this a story?

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.”
Asked what information was not accurate and for comment on the affidavit, she replied on Tuesday: “There was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you, I have let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision.”

Apply the same background to a Democratic President's nominee and Reed would push them through the committee without hesitation.
The same tactics should be applied to Senator Reed, including soliciting affidavits from anyone who might have known him indirectly and have something bad to say about him.

No. If so, she could’ve just said “no comment.” That would’ve thrown a bucket of gasoline on the fire. She explicitly denied it.

Note also that this is *not* the sister of the ex-wife, but the ex-wife of Hegseth's brother.

Samantha Hegseth dismissed the allegations.......saying that she did not believe the information shared in the affidavit was accurate.
So they did pay for it just like the Steele dossier.

In Islam the testimony of a woman is given less weight than a man's.
Maybe Islam is right about women.

What are the repercussions of submitting a false affidavit?
Republicans should go after this bitch if it isn't true as should Pete and the ex-wife that said she wasn't abused.

As Paul Harvey used to say, " Now for the rest of the story." I've copied the rest of the article that was in the link. Lots of times one needs to read the entire story.
TLDR: The ex-wife (Samantha Hegseth) denies the claims of the ex-sister in law (Ms. Dietrich) and says the ex-sister-in law has a long time grudge against the Hegseth family.
The rest of the linked article:
Two days before Congress received the affidavit, NBC News reached out to Hegseth's second wife, Samantha Hegseth, to detail some of the allegations contained in the affidavit and asked for comment.
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.”
Asked what information was not accurate and for comment on the affidavit, she replied on Tuesday: “There was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you, I have let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision.”
A lawyer for Pete Hegseth, Tim Parlatore, dismissed the allegations.
"Sam has never alleged that there was any abuse, she signed court documents acknowledging that there was no abuse and recently reaffirmed the same during her FBI interview. Belated claims by Danielle Dietrich, an anti-Trump far left Democrat who is divorced from Mr. Hegseth’s brother and never got along with the Hegseth family, do nothing to change that," he said in a statement.
"After an acrimonious divorce, Ms. Dietrich has had an axe to grind against the entire Hegseth family," he added. "Ms. Dietrich admits that she saw nothing but is now falsely accusing Sam of lying to both the Court and to the FBI because of private, undocumented statements that she allegedly made 10 years ago."
Both Pete Hegseth and Samantha Hegseth signed a 2021 court document that said neither parent claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.

I wonder how many affidavits can be found regarding the horrible behavior of US Senators and Congressmen?
