Senator Susan Collins is scheduled to meet with Pete Hegseth next week to discuss a range of topics, including his stance on Ukraine and the allegations against him. Collins expressed her intention to inquire about Hegseth's views on Ukraine, the size of the Navy, and the accusations that have been leveled against him during a press briefing.
Pete Hegseth, who has been nominated by former President Trump for the position of defense secretary, has come under scrutiny due to past allegations of misconduct. This scrutiny has prompted Republican senators to question his suitability to lead the Department of Defense.
In response to the concerns raised, Hegseth has affirmed his determination to secure confirmation, stating that he will 'fight like hell' to achieve this goal.
