A top Republican senator said on Dec. 15 that he believes Pete Hegesth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, will be confirmed unless people who have made accusations against Hegseth without publicly disclosing their names come forward.

“I’m in a good place with Pete, unless something I don’t know about comes out,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
