Rep. Jim Banks, (IN-R), has accused the U.S. Military Academy at West Point of attempting to "sabotage" Pete Hegseth's nomination for Secretary of Defense after the academy mistakenly claimed Hegseth was not accepted as a prospective cadet.
West Point apologized for the error, confirming Hegseth was admitted in 1999 as a member of the Class of 2003 but chose not to attend, FOX reported. The false statement had been provided to a journalist from ProPublica, leading to speculation about Hegseth's credentials before he publicly shared his acceptance letter.
