With Matt Gaetz out of the picture after he withdrew his nomination as attorney general, the focus of President-elect Donald Trump's controversial Cabinet picks has now turned to Pete Hegseth, who is vying to become the next defense secretary despite facing sexual assault and other allegations against him.

Among the Republican Senators supporting Hegseth are Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who came out in full support of the Fox News presenter after a closed door meeting on Monday night.
