Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren will not give up her crusade against President Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth. Warren came out as a stern opponent of Hegseth for the job during the latter's hearing in front of the Armed Services Committee on January 14.

Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee to lead the Defense Department, is on track to be confirmed as soon as Friday night if his support holds.

The new information came in response to additional questions posed to Hegseth by Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Donald Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, faced stiff criticism from Democrats and some Republicans—requiring a tie-breaking vote from JD Vance.

The settlement’s existence after a 2017 accusation had been documented before the defense secretary nominee’s confirmation hearing this month, but the amount had not been known publicly.

Pete Hegseth has vowed to bring his “warrior” ethos to the Pentagon. Democrats had assailed him as unfit for the job, and his confirmation came down to Vice President JD Vance serving as tiebreaker.

The 2020 settlement by Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon was revealed in response to Sen. Warren’s confirmation questions.

After a few GOP senators, including McConnell, voted against Hegseth for defense secretary, the Senate narrowly voted to confirm him.

"If you thought those kinds of questions would dominate the hearing, you must be living under the illusion that we live in a serious country."

Lawmakers voted 51-50 to make Hegseth the civilian leader of America’s armed forces, forcing Vice President JD Vance to break the tie.

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary nomination cleared a Senate procedural hurdle Thursday, pointing to a likely confirmation.
