Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News host turned defense secretary, lambasted a former network colleague over her reporting on the US airstrikes on Iran, calling her “the worst” for how she’s “intentionally” misrepresented President Donald Trump.
During a fiery press conference Thursday morning that seemed intended for an audience of one, Hegseth devoted much of his energy lashing out at the “fake news” media for reporting on a preliminary intelligence assessment that suggested that “Operation Midnight Hammer” only set back Iran’s nuclear program a few months.
