Pete Hegseth's former sister-in-law alleges that his ex-wife lived in fear of him

Senators on the Armed Service Committee received an affidavit Tuesday from the former sister-in-law of Pete Hegseth, who said that the would-be defense secretary's behavior caused his second wife to fear for her safety, NBC News reported.

Danielle Hegseth, the former sister-in-law who was previously married to Hegseth's brother and kept the surname, submitted the affidavit in response to a letter from Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., seeking “a statement attesting to your personal knowledge about Mr. Hegseth’s fitness to occupy this important position.” Hegseth has denied the allegation.

In a redacted copy of the affidavit reviewed by NBC News, Danielle Hegseth said that she had "chosen to come forward publicly, at significant personal sacrifice, because I am deeply concerned by what Hegseth’s confirmation would mean for our military and our country.”
