Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, has denied having a drinking problem after allegations surfaced that he had a drinking issue. The allegations were made in a Washington Post report, which cited former Fox Network employees who claim they saw Hegseth drinking at work or appearing visibly intoxicated at work events. In response, Hegseth appeared on Megyn Kelly’s show to address the claims, emphatically stating that he did not have a drinking problem.
