President-elect Donald Trump firmly threw his full support behind Pete Hegseth on Friday, making clear he is still his pick to “be a fantastic, high-energy Secretary of Defense.”
“Pete Hegseth is doing very well. His support is strong and deep, much more so than the Fake News would have you believe,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, denying reports he was reconsidering his pick.
“He was a great student – Princeton/Harvard educated – with a Military state of mind. He will be a fantastic, high-energy, Secretary of Defense” he wrote, saying the Fox News host will be “one who leads with charisma and skill.
“Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!”
