The Trump transition team is reportedly reevaluating Pete Hegseth, a Fox News contributor who was once considered for a top communications role in the incoming administration.

A Trump spokesperson said the transition team is “quietly” looking at alternatives, but declined to comment further. Hegseth has not publicly addressed the allegations against him.
