Newly released police report details 2017 sexual assault allegation against Pete Hegseth

A newly released police report provides details about the 2017 sexual assault allegation against Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary. The accuser reported feeling like she had been drugged and recalls saying "no" a lot while in a hotel room with Hegseth, where she says he prevented her from leaving and was on top of her. Hegseth told police the encounter was consensual. His attorney has said he was not charged with a crime.

American people are done with the gaslighting!

[TMar]

Yet the DOJ investigated and decided not to press charges.

[SlickRickDownSouth]

We have heard the lies for a decade now and nobody is buying what you're selling.

[marybethlatimer]

It has been 3 years and no charges yet? Get over yourselves.

[thomasgentry]

For the slow people. An allegation doesn't equate to a factual thing all the time. If the police investigated the claim, and never arrested him, there was no evidence to bring to court. Just someone saying something happened

[Cartier-npel]

It makes my heart so happy to see the comments calling out this BS. Every single time, right at the last minute this happens. Especially to those they are afraid of the most.

Hegseth “was not charged with a crime.” For those in the back.

[norbertrossi]

Dear CBS, if this report came from anyone, but you, it might matter.

[serfcityherewecome]

LMAO... yes, after they threw this exact same desperate feces at Clarence Thomas, Kavanaugh, Trump and pretty much every GOP nominee for the past 40 years we can TOTALLY take it as credible, LOL.

[truthbetold]

DOJ reviewed this with charges being dismissed…🖕🏽

[carlosdanger]

I hope his lawyers get you for defamation..

[kwoke]

Why didn't they open the files when he was in Congress if it is such a concern? If he truly did something wrong, fine, do what needs to be done. But I'm very suspicious that it is only a concern now. Regarding Pete's case, the regret of the lady is because she just cheated on her husband, with her child in the same hotel. Source comes from Megan Kelly reading the report from 2017. No charges were filed after the investigation.

Oprahs best friend giving another stellar substandard view on Americans.

[freedombug]

Newly-released!? Wow, what a coincidence!!!! That he happens to be up for appointment and now all of a sudden there's a sex thing that happened eight years ago! What's so amazing is that this happens literally every time someone comes to prominence or gains power who the establishment didn't approve of. It's just SO weird! Life is sure funny.

[TexRay]

Another case of Christine Blasey Fordism.

[catherynelowe]

Key word “allegations.” MSM really do think viewers don’t know what word’s really mean.

[earfunk]

Birds of a feather ... flock together.

[jessicadubois]

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses? Give it up CBS. Just tanking your ratings even further.

[Geeskgonegangsta]

No one was charged with a crime. Such morality at CBS.

[asdfasdfasdf]

Yea yea. Same ol story different day😂. Is anyone falling for it ?
