Who Is Pete Hegseth? Trump Nominates Army Vet And Fox News Host As His Defense Secretary President-elect Donald Trump chose Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to be his next defense secretary and lead 1.3 million active-duty troops. The choice of Hegseth was outside the norm of the traditional defense secretary. But he has been a supporter of Trump since his first term, defending his interactions with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, embracing his “America First” agenda of trying to withdraw US troops from abroad and taking up the cause of combat veterans accused of war crimes.
