A defining duo of the first Donald Trump administration is back.

President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, confirmed that he paid $50,000 to a woman who accused him of sexual assault back in 2017.

Pete Hegseth admitted to paying $50,000 in a settlement over a 2017 sexual assault allegation he called a "nuisance claim," raising bipartisan concerns during his Senate confirmation process.

The vote broke the Senate filibuster and sets up a final confirmation vote, which will likely take place Friday. Democrat John Fetterman voted against advancing Hegseth for secretary of defense.
