TOMMY TUBERVILLE: I'm 110% behind Pete Hegseth.
NANCY CORDES: In the Senate version of a pep rally, Alabama Republican Tommy Tuberville sought to boost Pete Hegseth's chances today, praising him alongside some former Navy Seals.
MITCH AGUIAR: Pete is definitely that breath of fresh air when it comes to the Department of Defense.
CORDES: Tomorrow, the former Fox News host will undergo a grilling by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who want to know more about allegations of past excessive drinking, sexual misconduct, and financial mismanagement at a pair of veterans’ groups from which he was let go. Democrats are pushing for access to the FBI's background check on Hegseth. So far, as per tradition, that information has only been shared with committee leaders.
DICK BLUMENTHAL: I'm told that they may well have not interviewed his ex-spouses or the accuser. I think that is a gap in the FBI report, if true.
