Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin recently came to the defense of Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, who is under scrutiny for a 2017 sexual assault allegation. Mullin stated in an interview that Hegseth was falsely accused and that there was no case against him.
Mullin, a father of three girls, initially expressed concern upon hearing the allegation but after reviewing the details, he believes there is more to the story. He mentioned that after speaking with Hegseth and getting his questions answered, he is looking forward to supporting Hegseth's confirmation as the next Secretary of Defense.
