For those who want to know without clicking, it's Pete Hegseth.

"Democrats on the committee believe there are additional allegations that should appear in the pages of an F.B.I. background check, to inform their questioning. That belief is based in part on information they have gleaned from individuals who have quietly approached Senate offices to divulge information about Mr. Hegseth."

Raise the alarm to who? There is no oversight that is not bending the knee to Trump.

All the information you need about Pete Hegseth is this:

The guy is a TV show host and about as qualified as a McD burger flipper for the job.
