TL;DR

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, faces scrutiny over a 2018 email from his mother accusing him of mistreating women, as well as a past sexual assault allegation. The email, sent during Hegseth's divorce, criticized his behavior towards women, though his mother later apologized and defended him. Hegseth denies the assault allegation, which was settled with a confidentiality agreement. His confirmation process is expected to be contentious, with some Trump allies defending him.
