The Monterey County District Attorney's Office has released a statement in light of allegations resurfacing against President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, over an alleged sexual assault in 2017 at a Monterey Hotel.
The Monterey County District Attorney's Office said that they chose not to pursue charges against Hegseth due to a lack of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

More lawfare?
As in the good kind?
Doesn’t matter, Pete is done. I’m sure he was asked by Trump’s team if he had anything in his past that could impact the nomination, and he lied. Yes, it’s a he said/she said, and I’m inclined to believe her story is not credible, but the optics of having a police report with X-rated details about a nominee’s sexual proclivities is another unnecessary distraction.
What a load of horseshit.
That’s because the case is utter BS. No proof, no case. Innocent until proven guilty. End of story.
You know how many politicians have been accused of sex crimes and hold office today?
The story going around is that he did not tell trump about this and it was not found during the vetting.
Therefore, they may decide to bail on him.
I think this woman was friends with Ted Kennedy
This is why average people loath the political scum bag class
Innocent until proven guilty is the legal principal
Trump just got elected despite this sort of smear job being used against him,=.
That it offense to the political scumbag crowd’s hysterical fear of “optics” matters to voters not at all.
It past time the preemptive surrender monkey’s in the GOP-E finally grow a spine and quit doing the Democrats work for them
Pete is not running for political office so he can’t charisma his way to a win, unfortunately. But my concern is more that he lied to Trump, if the reports that Trump’s team was blindsided by this are true. That is 100% unacceptable.
It is supremely ironic that the leftists who can never stop talking about perverted sex and how they enjoy perverted sex somehow get Republicans to cave over the slightest unproven sexual allegations with no witnesses.
Did any leftist head roll over the leftist scum buggery in the Capitol hearing room that was recorded and put out there for everybody to see? Can you think of a more repugnant sexual act in the PEOPLE’S HOUSE? Of course nobody was called to task for that.
You haven’t been around here since 2004/2006...why would your opinion matter? Where did you come from?
They will hang every pick just like Gaetz. Cutsey time is over as Dan Bongino says.
Guilty till proven innocent!
How do you know that he lied to Trump and that Trump wasn't aware of this incident?
You relying on that anonymous dude that has the insider information on everything going on in Washington?
Who the hell are you to police my words? Go back under your rock.

Did you even read the article??? The accusation is a joke. His accuser said she saw him completely naked and noticed neither scars or TATTOO’s.
The whole thing is obviously completely contrived hence no charges.
My job is to weed out people like you who steal dead FR accounts and make comments that hurt our love of freedom and truth.
But you can prove me wrong by becoming a monthly contributor to Free Republic. In that case, I will support all your inane comments...and crawl back under my rock.
Look at merzbow’s history. He stole an account...or he’s been in a coma.
