Will Hegseth get through? Pete Hegseth, current Fox News anchor and possible future defense secretary in the Trump administration, will face senators in his confirmation hearing later today.
"Hegseth is a decorated combat veteran who was deployed in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan," reports CNN. "He has earned two Bronze Star Medals for his service in Iraq and Afghanistan." Since 2014, he's worked for Fox.
Hegseth has come under plenty of scrutiny for his string of divorces, salacious details of his personal life, and even a sexual assault allegation. These things, and his general inexperience—that might give one pause as to whether he can lead an $800 billion department and 3 million employees—might tank his confirmation.
