Being appointed Secretary of Defense has caused citizens to question his fitness for leadership due to these allegations.
Pete Hegseth is now married to Jennifer Rauchet, but previously, he was married to Samantha Hegseth.
Danielle reports numerous instances of abuse, including threats and general mistreatment.

Despite this, Samantha Hegseth came out in support of her ex-husband to salvage his reputation.
“There was no physical abuse in my marriage.
yo respect this decision.”

Pete and Samantha both even signed a court document to refute any accounts of abuse.
