Culture wars and personal issues are expected to dominate a hearing for Donald Trump’s choice to be the country's next defense secretary, Pete Hegseth.

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary is facing senators for the first time after weeks of questions from Democrats and praise from Republicans about his “unconventional” resume.

Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, acknowledged Tuesday he is “not a perfect person” but was he defiant in the face of multiple allegations surrounding his past conduct during a contentious confirmation hearing.
