Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth has faced a wide range of allegations since Donald Trump nominated him to serve as secretary of the Department of Defense in November. In spite of the diversity of the accusations against Hegseth — which range from problem drinking to sexual assault — Sen. Lindsey Graham sees little more than an orchestrated smear campaign.
Graham told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that he saw shades of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's contentious (and ultimately successful) confirmation in the negative press around Hegseth, disregarding the fact that the claims have come from former employees, police reports and Hegseth's own mother.
