Colleagues at Fox News express concern about Pete Hegseth’s drinking, according to sources NBC News.


Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, was reportedly seen drinking in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News, according to ten former and current employees who spoke with NBC News. Some employees claimed to have smelled alcohol on him before he went on air multiple times. Concerns about his drinking were also raised during his time at veterans’ nonprofits before joining Fox News. Despite this, none of the sources recalled him missing a scheduled appearance due to drinking. Hegseth was known to appear hungover on set, according to sources.

Reports of Hegseth’s behavior raise questions about his ability to handle the round-the-clock responsibilities required of a Secretary of Defense, including making important decisions in a crisis at any time of day. Current and former Fox employees expressed concerns about the impact of Hegseth’s drinking on his performance. Some claimed to have felt the need to “babysit” him due to his drinking and late nights.

The New Yorker detailed a whistleblower report alleging that Hegseth had behaved inappropriately at work events, including getting drunk at a strip club and sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room. Hegseth has denied wrongdoing and settled with the woman. The accusations against Hegseth have sparked concerns about his ability to handle the demands of a top government position.
