Fox News personality Pete Hegseth's nomination to be President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of defense has been shaken by allegations of sexual assault and drinking problems. But there's a much simpler reason the Senate should oppose his confirmation, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told MSNBC's Alex Wagner on Wednesday.

He doesn't believe women can serve equally in the military, she said — and this will make it impossible for the military to meet its already-difficult recruitment targets.

A Democratic senator blasted a new nomination for the Trump administration, railing that he has no relevant experience — and if confirmed people can expect "longer wait times for customer service."

Shocking video of the moment UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was gunned down on a New York City sidewalk offered new clues into the suspect still at large for the brazen Wednesday morning assassination.

Former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe said the suspect’s calmness during what appeared to be a calculated killing leads him to believe the trigger wasn’t pulled by a novice and could “possibly even [be] a professional.”

President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Kash Patel, a former House GOP staffer and longtime MAGA loyalist, to serve as FBI director, means the nation's top law enforcement agency will be in the hands of an avowed conspiracy theorist, warned MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Wednesday.

And he brought the sound clips to prove it.

President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Fox News personality Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense is on life support amid allegations of sexual assault and alcohol abuse, backed up by police reports and the testimony of colleagues. But Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) told CNN's Jake Tapper he's still all in on the nomination, demanding Hegseth's accusers come forward and talk to the media if they're so truthful.

A conservative commentator and ex-Fox News host lashed out at Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AL) in an angry insult-laced rant on Wednesday revolving around her potential opposition to Pete Hegseth’s controversial nomination.

Dan Bongino, a Trump loyalist and host of the Bongino Report podcast, made the comments on his show where he dug into Murkowski and Sen.

Fox News personality Pete Hegseth's attorney Tim Parlatore defended him vigorously Wednesday in an interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper, as Hegseth's nomination to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense appears on the ropes amid allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse.
