Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discusses President Donald Trump's plans to use Guantanamo Bay to house criminal migrants in the interim on 'The Will Cain Show.'

On Jan. 21, before the Senate took Hegseth's confirmation to a vote, his former sister-in-law came forward with new allegations against him, claiming in an affidavit submitted to the Senate that his second wife, Samantha, feared for her safety and made escape plans, allegedly going so far as to develop a code word that she could use to get help.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed to quickly comply with President Donald Trump's border executive orders upon arriving for his first day on the job.

Pete Hegseth narrowly secured enough votes on Friday to become the next U.S. defense secretary, a major victory for President Donald Trump after fierce opposition from Democrats and even some Republicans to his controversial nominee.

Pete Hegseth was sworn in as defense secretary Saturday morning, declaring it an “honor of a lifetime," and he promised to put America first by bringing peace through strength.

The Senate’s 50-50 vote for Pete Hegseth marked the second time in history that a vice president was called upon to break the tie to confirm a Cabinet official.

I want to give Pete Hegseth a chance. He has passion for defending the United States and real-world experience in what it means to serve as a warrior.
