In a striking turn of events, the Biden-Harris administration seems to be resorting to dirty tricks against those associated with former President Donald Trump. This time, it’s Pete Hegseth—a highly qualified nominee for Secretary of Defense—whose past is being dragged through the mud with allegations that were supposedly “completely investigated” seven years ago.
Tim Parlatore, Hegseth’s lawyer, was clear in an exclusive interview that “He is completely and totally innocent. It was completely investigated. She was the aggressor.”
So why are these accusations resurfacing now? According to Parlatore, after a 2017 event where Hegseth had too many drinks at a conference hosted by the California Federation of Republican Women, things took an unexpected turn.
“She took advantage of him,” he claimed.
He elaborated on how video evidence and eyewitness accounts painted quite a different picture than what one might expect during this #MeToo era. It is also being reported that she was married at the time and her family was with her staying at the same hotel. Meanwhile, Hegseth had been recently divorced.
“She led him,” he continued emphatically. “It was clear she was sober while he wasn’t.”
Despite being accused years later when no charges were filed initially, Parlatore outlined how others have reached out to inform Hegseth about potential lawsuits from women who seemed emboldened after their own job losses.
“Fox News was not going to just sit and wait a couple of years to see what the court said — they were going to fire him,” said Parlatore regarding his client’s precarious position amid these resurfaced claims.
After mediation led them toward settling the matter privately—an arrangement purportedly breached by the accuser recently—the stakes have risen significantly for her now: “The consequences for breaking it are essentially that the settlement is null and void,” explained Parlatore.
“And beyond that…she’s going to owe us a little bit of money from that.”
Could we really be looking at extortion here? With California laws allowing actions under simple extortion statutes if proven true, this could spiral out into something much larger. As tension mounts around political nominations leading up towards 2024 elections—is someone trying desperately to sabotage Hegseth’s confirmation?
“If she decides to out herself and try to pull some Christine Blasey Ford kind of crap,” warned Parlatore ominously, “then she’s going very quickly find herself in the courtroom.”
One has got wonder if there might be forces behind-the-scenes working diligently against Trump associates as they attempt their return! The next few months will surely reveal whether further steps will need taking or if we’ll simply witness yet another unfortunate example of politics as usual in action—a landscape rife with hypocrisy under this current administration!
Steven Cheung echoed support from within Trump’s camp: “President Trump is nominating high-caliber and extremely qualified candidates… Mr. Hegseth has vigorously denied any and all accusations.”
He concluded confidently, “We look forward… so he can get started on Day One… to Make America Safe and Great Again.”
