Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense has faced damaging allegations about his past behavior.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, on Thursday appeared to walk back past comments criticizing policies that allowed openly gay people to serve in the U.S. military.
Hegseth was approached by reporters following a meeting with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Capitol Hill as he works to shore up support from lawmakers.
“Do you believe that gay people should be allowed to serve in the military?” a reporter asked.
“Yes,” Hegseth responded.
Hegseth, however, declined to address a report by CNN’s KFile detailing his past comments against those policies.
