An attorney for defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth sent a letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS) on Wednesday, attempting to discredit new allegations detailed in an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law.

In the letter obtained by the Washington Examiner, Hegseth’s attorney called the allegations from his former sister-in-law “deeply flawed and questionable” and urged the Senate to rely on prior court records when evaluating the new allegations.
