Fox News anchor Bret Baier has provided a positive update on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense.
During a segment on Fox News, Baier said there’s been “growing optimism” with Trump’s team that Hegseth’s nomination is moving in the “right direction” with Republican senators.
“I think there is this growing optimism with the President-elect and his team that they are making progress and that Pete Hegseth is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Baier said.“And I wonder if you are feeling at all, introspective at all, about that was, according to the Mueller report and according to your Republican colleagues, an overstatement? And I wonder if you think, in any way, you helped set the table for these disruptors?” Tapper asked.
