President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense faced the Senate Arms Services Committee for a heated confirmation hearing.

Pete Hegseth, an Army National Guard veteran and former Fox News Channel host has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and heavy drinking. The accusations led to a tense exchange with Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, which prompted Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota to come to Hegseth's defense — just one example of the hyper-partisan tit for tat throughout the day.
