Defense pick Hegseth paid accuser but denies sexual assault, attorney says

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement, though he maintained that their encounter was consensual, according to a statement from his lawyer Saturday and other documents obtained by The Washington Post.

Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, said that Hegseth was “visibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident, and maintained that police who were contacted a few days after the encounter by the woman concluded “the Complainant had been the aggressor in the encounter.” Police have not confirmed that assertion.

It's quite the tale. At the time of the alleged assault he was separated from his wife and the accuser was staying in the hotel with her husband.

Hegseth touched my pee pee in three year old Sunday school class. Back in 1972.

No really, believe me!

How about that Congressional hush-money fund? Should that not be made public?

The deep state is terrified of Hegseth and Matt. They are going to try to destroy both of them.

Well, we’ve sure seen how airtight non-disclosure agreements are when politics is involved. The MSM is already getting people spun up over his “white supremacy” tattoos. Now, some woman is claiming he sexually assaulted her.

Not looking good.

From the report it sounds like she’s saying she was given a date rape drug.

I believe you. Even though Hegseth was born in 1980.

He’s a time traveller.

Sounding more like the Peter Sellers, Peter O’Toole and Ursula Andress movie What’s New, Pussycat (1965). O’Toole consults with the psychiatrist Sellers to help him stay away from the temptation of models at the fashion magazine where he works who are always hitting on him.

The question is what does Trump think of him not telling him this before he was announced?

I saw another post saying that was the case.

Q. Did General Patton ever cheat on his wife?

A. It doesn’t matter one way or the other. In WW2 the country desperately needed fighting generals, not Sunday school teachers.

Same idea goes today.

Remember the good old days when the non disclosure part of a NDA meant something.

Wait if “the Complainant had been the aggressor in the encounter” then she came onto him.......so no assault happened by him.

I'm sure Trump knew beforehand that Hegsweth has a blemished personal life.

Anyhow, libtards are crying that Trump is intentionally disregarding previous sexual indiscretions in cabinet appointees as a way to send a message that the #MeToo movement is dead and we're not going to keep ruining men's lives over this stuff. Lord knows, he's been targeted as well.

Anyhow, Hegsweth was investigated and cleared so there's that.

"paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement,"

Whose payroll is she on now?

She cheated on her husband. Got busted, and claimed it wasn’t her fault. Lying whore. That’s all this is.

One of her responsibilities at the conference was to make sure Hegseth made it back to his room and left in time the next morning for the 90-minute drive to the nearby airport, the memo said. At some point in the evening, the complaint alleged, Jane Doe received a text from two women in the bar who told her that “Hegseth was getting pushy about his interest in taking them upstairs to his room.” Jane Doe, who was nearby, came over and talked to those two women, and after they left, she “remembered sensing that Hegseth was irritated,” the memo said. What happened next is in dispute. According to the memo, Jane Doe “didn’t remember anything until she was in Hegseth’s hotel room and then stumbling to find her hotel room.” The memo said her memory of six to nine hours “was very hazy,” and that her husband was searching for her and was relieved when she finally showed up. The following day, the woman returned home and “had a moment of hazy memory of being raped the night before, and had a panic attack,” the memo said.

Her responsibility to “get a 30 year old man to his room”. Lying skank went to his room, has drinks, gets naked and nailed, goes to sleep and wakes up the next morning. She’s now in deep $hit with hubby and spins a tall tale.

Take it to the bank
