Va. Sen. Tim Kaine addresses concern for Trump's defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth

Senator Tim Kaine accused Pete Hegseth of cheating on his wife, leading some to wonder what the basis for those adulterous allegations was.

The senator went after the former Fox News anchor for cheating on both his wife and a woman who gave birth two months prior.

Tim Kaine said he pushed Defense Secretary-nominee Pete Hegseth about infidelity and sexual misconduct in a hearing last week because he believed it was the only way to get Republicans to consider voting against him.

"I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully, I'm redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Hegseth said on Tuesday.
