The President-elect will nominate Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be the Secretary of Defense in his new administration, Trump announced on Tuesday.
Donald Trump is plucking his new Secretary of Defense straight from the Fox News studios.
Hegseth joined Fox News as a contributor in 2014 and currently co-hosts the weekend edition of morning show Fox & Friends.
“Pete Hegseth has been an exceptional host on FOX & Friends and FOX Nation and a best-selling author for Fox News Books for nearly a decade,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement.
