In a statement, Hegseth’s attorney said the former Fox News host paid a woman in 2023 who had previously accused him of sexual assault but maintained that the woman lied.Nov. 18, 2024, 4:54 AM GMT+10By Alexandra MarquezFormer Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s attorney on Sunday confirmed to NBC News that Hegseth, whom President-elect Donald Trump has named as his candidate for defense secretary, paid a woman an undisclosed amount after she accused him of sexual assault.“In 2023, Hegseth paid the complainant as part of a civil confidential settlement agreement and maintains his innocence,” Timothy Parlatore, Hegseth’s attorney, said in a statement.He also denied that the encounter between Hegseth and an unnamed woman, which she alleges happened in 2017, was sexual assault.Parlatore’s statement comes after The Washington Post on Saturday reported that a friend of Hegseth’s accuser sent a memo to the Trump transition team detailing the allegations.NBC News has not independently reviewed the memo, but Parlatore confirmed that it is related to an encounter Hegseth and the unnamed woman had in Monterey, California, during a conference of the California Federation of Republican Women.The Post reported that the memo said the woman was at the conference with her husband and her children and “didn’t remember anything until she was in Hegseth’s hotel room and then stumbling to find her hotel room” on the night in question.Parlatore denied the allegation, saying, “This is a situation where a consensual encounter occurred and, unfortunately, the woman had to come up with a lie to explain why the woman had not come back to her husband’s room that night.”
“It wasn’t reported until days later until there was pressure from her husband. It was fully investigated by police and video surveillance as well as multiple eyewitness statements show that she was the aggressor,” he added.Authorities in Monterey investigated the allegation in 2017 and did not file charges against Hegseth.Parlatore also called his client “completely innocent” and accused the woman of “trying to squeeze Mr. Hegseth for money.”Before Hegseth officially becomes defense secretary, he’ll have to win over a majority of the Senate in a confirmation vote.On Sunday, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “I think he’s a good pick.”Still, he added that the Senate would have to deliberate and review Hegseth’s record ahead of a vote.“But once again, as allegations come out, we’ll figure out if, as the Senate moves forward with the advice and consent to the president of the United States and doing our constitutional duties, we’ll figure out if he can get confirmed or not. And I do think that Pete’s a good pick for this position,” Mullin said.
>>1362846This isn't a surprise. Trump is a rapist, so of course he would pick a rapist. What's more surprising is that a majority of voters preferred a rapist to be president rather than a democrat.
Weird how everyone the democrats don't like gets randomly accused of sexual assault when they're considered for a government position.
>>1362853>democrats don't like rapistsapparently a controversial take?maybe if they didn't rape people
>>1362855You know this is why you lost, right?
>>1362858Because we didn't rape people?
>>1362862It's cool dude. Keep doubling down.
>>1362853>Major powers invite background checks>Background checks find shady shit>'hmmm, what a curious pattern...'This isn't even a new allegation; they found the hush money he paid to keep her quiet long before Trump even won the election.
Where was drunk and cried rape when she sobered up.
>>1362866Whore was(auto correct is a when)....%$#@!
>>1362865That's true. The allegation appeared the last time he was being considered for a position in the trump administration.So weird.
>>1362870>last time he was being considered for a position in the trump administrationWe literally only knew he was under consideration when they announced who Trump actually picked. Unless she somehow had insider knowledge of Trump's considerations I don't think that played a part.
>>1362874It'd be nice if your bosses would hire some literate people.
>>1362870>weirdIts weird paying off your accuser when you're innocent.
>>1362858>>1362863Imagine being dumb enough to actually believe this.
>>1362877He's right you know
>>1362846>Be me, Democrat>Vote for guy that molested his daughter in the shower>Deny it, defend it>Lose election>Suddenly care about chomos.100% of chomos are LGBTQ.
>>1362902Nice Russian-invented conspiracy theory you're repeating
>>1362866The fact that he would have sex with a drunk married woman, speaks to his lack of character and judgment ability. Really it doesn't matter if the rape happened or not here. He has demonstrated that he cannot suppress his more base desires when given the chance to indulge in them, making him a serious security risk.It is pretty easy to just not have sex with a woman, even if she is drunk and being sexually aggressive. You just say "no".To defend his actions is to defend a weak man. Why would you want a weak man being DOD Secretary?
>>1362919>He has demonstrated that he cannot suppress his more base desires when given the chance to indulge in them, making him a serious security risk.Nothing like getting a blow job from an intern in the oval office, amirite?Man, Democrats are just super moral people.
>>1362920Who are the democrats in the story?
>>1362881No, you're right. It had absolutely nothing to do with your ideology or behavior. I'm sure it was actually elon hacking the election with starlink.
>>1362846Wow, do tell! When was he convicted in criminal court?
>>1362879Not when asshole dems weaponize the court of public opinion.
>>1362846Suddenly, when the accused is not black, Dems believe all allegations against him
>>1362920If you're going to pull a "whattaboutism", could you at least bother having it make sense?
>>1363062>could you at least bother having it make senseDemocrats are moral puritans that keep acting like retarded degeneratesLike that time two gay democrats had sex in the senate hearing room. Or Clinton being blown by his secretary in the oval office. Or the clintons killing a guy after he gave wikileaks a series of emails regarding a pizza parlor covered in pedophile symbolism which, coincidentally, is across the street from an organization that (on its website) works to “end child slavery and violence against girls” in Haiti.After a certain point all you can do is laugh at these retards.

>>1363074>for no reasonIt was because wikileaks hosted emails from Podesta that referenced a pizza parlor filled with pedophile imagery, using pedophile coded language, whose owner had social media pages filled with pages that heavily imply rape/prostitution, e.g a child being taped to a table by the wrists. The same guy who lied about having a basement.The leaker (Seth Rich) was killed. And then the corporate media rallied together to debooonk the emails, saying it was illegal to view them from any source other than the corporate media.
>>1363076You forgot the part where nearly every denier and debonler ended up getting pinch for pizza, sans toppings.
>>1363063Good post
>>1363077Oh right. And the fact that they were using that language to describe that shit.>pizza>hotdogs>pizza with sausageEvery oldfag here (pre 2010) knows what that shit means. They were speaking the language that the party V& users invented from long, long ago.
>>1363080>>1363077>>1363076Good posts
>>1363076>>1363077>>1363080Seth Rich wasn't even the guy who leaked the emails you fucking retards. You wrote a massive amount of schizo fanfic about a pizza parlor. The one that "lied about a basement" didn't even have a basement and the photo that "exposed" it was proven to have been taken in a different building.

Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year.

REDACTED even invited some of them in - they filmed the encounter and put it on YouTube, external.>"They ignore basic truths," REDACTED tells BBC Trending. For instance, the conspiracy supposedly is run out of the restaurant's basement. "We don't even have a basement."
>>1363083Anon you retard he's talking about the basement of where they're getting the tomatoes. They don't grow the tomatoes on-site.We know it doesn't have a basement because one schizo went in there with a rifle and still couldn't find one. You had retards swarming the place for years and none of them could actually produce any physical evidence the place could have a basement.
>>1363085This is the worst bait I've seen in years.
>>1363080>Top secret pedophile operation being done by the highest level of government and covert ops>"Yeah lets use a bunch of pizza terms invented by shitheads on the internet, because we need to advertise our activities but only so it's visible to a bunch of imageboard retards"Imagine having the resources to pull off the level of secrecy this required but not enough to come up with new code phrases.
>>1362846Donald Trump is re-elected as President of USA in November 2024 and wins by a landslide. An incredible team is assembled, Elon Musk, Tucker, RFK, Hulk Hogan, Vivek, Arpaio, Gaetz, Hegseth, Joe Exotic, and many others including podcasters Rogan, Walsh, and Fuentez etc. Major realignment of policies as the left no longer exists and we are finally one party state. MAGA will spread across the world in positives way. Within 48 hours, talks of peace with Russia to crush the Ukraine nazis, the cities are brought to heel and the left is shown no forgiveness, China, Mexico, Iran, and Canada are conquered, leave our children alone, Bible based schooling is made manifest, there be only 2 genders, Soros put on trial, women are classified as livetock, all government regulations and agent Cs abolished, big tech censorship and corrupt media to be annihilated and replaced with the GOSPEL and TRUTH. Looks like the beginning of the end of crisis. Hopefully, next will be UK with ReformUK in 2029 and the death of the EU and NATO as a joint Russia/US alliances presses them. Optimism for a positive future returns.
>>1363090>This poster is now in federal prison for...>>1363095Seems a bit sarcastic, but amen on everything except women as livestock and the retarded assumption that dRumpf will give Ukraine to Russia.
>>1363104>dRumpfThe man's name is Donald J. Trump
>>1363107You mean Dugnold R. dRumpf.
>>1362862https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_sexual_assault_allegation
>>1363169>Before accusing Biden of sexual assault in 2020, Reade made other comments that cast her encounters with Biden differently. In April 2019, Reade said that she filed a complaint in 1993 against Biden with a Senate human resources office, in which she alleged that Biden had made her feel uncomfortable through comments she deemed demeaning, allegedly including a compliment about her looks and a request for Reade to serve drinks at a Senate event. However, in her complaint, Reade did not accuse Biden of any kind of sexual misconduct and made no mention of the alleged assault.[5]>In May 2023, Reade defected to Russia to seek Russian citizenship, citing security concerns. She announced this during an interview with Sputnik in Moscow alongside convicted Kremlin spy Maria Butina, whom Reade called her friend.[6] Reade said that she felt safe in Moscow.[7] Come on tardanon, at least read more than the title...
>>1362921I guess zoomers don't know who Bill Clinton is.
>>1362995Still waiting...
>>1363183Who?
>>1363199Some old guy Republicans were obsessed with for 30 years.
>>1362853Yeah, just a coincidence, probably
