Police in California have confirmed they investigated an alleged sexual assault involving Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump ’s pick for defense secretary. The incident allegedly took place about two months after Hegseth, a family values Christian, had a baby daughter with his mistress at the time, former Fox producer Jennifer Rauchet.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be the next Secretary of Defense, was investigated, but not charged, in a sexual assault case less than a decade ago, raising questions about the Trump transition team’s vetting process.
