A Democratic senator is calling on the chamber's Armed Services Committee to get two veterans groups to "preserve and produce" financial records related to the time when they were run by Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's embattled Defense Secretary nominee, following reports of mismanagement during his tenure.
Richard Blumenthal, who is also part of the committee, sent a letter to its leaders saying that "in light of recent reports," he requests "that prior to scheduling any confirmation hearing, the Committee ensure that Concerned Veterans of America (CVA) and the Veterans for Freedom (V.F.F) preserve and produce all financial records and correspondence, particularly concerning credit card transactions, relating to Peter Hegseth's tenure at these organizations to the Committee for review."
