The media has been attacking Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, with leaks about a years-old sexual assault allegation that was already investigated by police.
In 2017, Monterey, California, police investigated an allegation made by a married woman [Jane Doe] who claimed Pete Hegseth sexually assaulted her at a political event, but they found no evidence to support her claims.
Hegseth claimed the encounter was consensual.
Gaetz has denied the allegations and the Justice Department declined to bring charges after investigating the matter.
It should be noted that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not have evidence to press charges against the Republican lawmaker.
Sunny Hostin was forced to read another legal note about the allegations against Gaetz and Hegseth.
“I have a legal note. Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime. Gaetz previously dismissed allegations that he paid for sex saying “someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends…” Hostin said before reading a second legal note.
“Another legal note. Pete Hegseth’s lawyer said he paid off the woman in 2023 to head off the threat of a baseless lawsuit,” Hostin added.
Joy Behar was peeved.
“Just call the show ‘Legal Note’ from now on,” Joy Behar said.
Earlier this week Sunny Hostin was forced to read a legal note out on air after smearing Matt Gaetz as a sex offender.
On Tuesday Hostin attempted to link Gaetz to the DOJ’s old recycled allegations of sex trafficking.
“How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old,” Hostin said.
“My understanding further on in the interview they discuss the fact that once he found out she was 17 he stopped having sex with her.”
Hostin was then asked to read out a “legal note” clarifying the situation live on air.
“Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims invented and saying in a statement to NBC News that this false smear following a three year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism,” she said.
“The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought.”
