Senator Tammy Duckworth has raised concerns about the thoroughness of the FBI background check conducted on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for defense secretary. Duckworth stated that some key witnesses, particularly women from Hegseth's past, were not interviewed as part of the vetting process.
According to Duckworth, there were individuals who expressed a willingness to provide information to the FBI but were not approached for interviews. This lack of comprehensive investigation has prompted criticism from the Illinois Democrat, who emphasized the importance of thorough vetting for such a critical position.
