President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says he was blackmailed during the #MeToo movement, and paid off an accuser to keep her silent, his attorney Timothy Parlatore tells The Post.

Hegseth, who worked as a Fox News host until Trump picked him for his Cabinet, paid an undisclosed amount to a woman who accused him of sexual assault, which he maintains was consensual, his lawyer confirmed.

“Basically, he was totally innocent. He did nothing wrong here,” Parlatore said. “We went through a mediation and ultimately settled for far less than what she wanted. And that should have completely buried it.”

Last week, the Trump transition team received a memo from a friend of the accuser who detailed the accusations against Trump’s surprise pick to lead the Department of Defense, the Washington Post reported.

The alleged incident took place on Oct. 7, 2017, in Monterey, California, and involved an unidentified staffer at a conservative group who accused Hegseth, now 44, of raping her in his hotel room after a boozy night at the bar. She was in her 30s at the time.

Never believe a woman who filed no police report and has no proof.

Women lie, even more so when they are paid to lie.

Hegseth is golden.

Btch can go to hell.

Magic sex scandals always seem to pop up when Democrats need to knee-cap a political opponent.

Almost like a miracle.

This isn’t 2016 anymore. I think the American people are fed up with dirty tricks from the Democrats.

Lying whore. Said her job at the event was to make sure he made it to his room at a certain time and left for the airport the next morning on time. She went to the bar and got him, went to his room, and the next day had no memory of anything. Her husband had been looking for her all night.
So she wakes up and goes back to hubby. Tells hubby she doesn’t know what happened. The day after that she starts remembering she was raped. The local California cops, no friends of Republicans or FOX news, heard her story and declined to charge him.

Translation: She went to the bar, has drinks and went to his room with him. She was gonna ride him, and then scurry back to her room, with hubby none the wiser. But alas, she dozed off and suddenly it’s 7am. “Wake up little Susie, wake up!” She was out all night and now had to explain herself. So she has amnesia. But hubby knows it’s BS. So a day or so later after a lot of hubby questions, she starts slowly remembering non-consensual sex.
So to save herself, she has a “panic attack” and remembers she was actually raped. LOL

She’s a lying whore.

She was in her 30s at the time.

7 years ago. So was Hegseth.

It’s enough to solidify every Democratic senator and probably more than one or two Republicans to oppose his confirmation.

Sounds like it is time for Hegseth to forego the NDA, and name her in a press release. People have a right to know. And I think she raped him.

For 12 of the last 16 years the rats have controlled the military. They have done a lot of damage. We need this man to start the repair, it is crucial that he gets in there.

Democrats must have forgotten that this type of dirty trick led the Republicans to win the election.

**And Don’t ever, ever, ever, screw around**

Achieve an orgasm, and possibly get a disease. Or cause an unplanned pregnancy with a stranger.

The Old Testament has many examples of how that behavior never does any person any good.

The warnings are also there:

Proverbs 5:3-13; 6:24-28; 7:21-27; and 11:22

I would wager a precious sum to assume almost everyone in DC has an account at the Blackmail Bank of America.
