President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser, Jason Miller, expressed confidence in defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth ahead of his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Miller predicted that Hegseth will perform well during the hearing.
Miller defended the process of only allowing the heads of the committee to review the FBI background check into Hegseth, stating that it is a historical norm. He emphasized that both the chairman and ranking member of the committee have had the opportunity to review the file, dismissing concerns about hiding information from Senate Democrats.
