Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Infobox officeholder Peter Brian Hegseth (born June 6, 1980) is an American Fox News Channel contributor.[1]

He is a former reserve military officer and former executive director of the political advocacy groups Vets For Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America. The latter is a conservative advocacy group funded by the Koch brothers, which advocates for greater privatization of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).[2] He was in consideration to head the United States Department of Veteran Affairs in the Trump administration, but major veterans' groups objected, and in January 2017, David Shulkin was selected instead.[3][4]

Education

Hegseth attended Forest Lake Area High School in Forest Lake, Minnesota, and received his Bachelor of Arts at Princeton University in 2003.[5] In 2013, he received a Master in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[6]

At Princeton, Hegseth was the editor of the Princeton Tory, a conservative student-run publication.

Military career

Following graduation from Princeton in 2003, Hegseth joined Bear Stearns as an equity capital markets analyst and was also commissioned as a reserve infantry officer into the U.S. Army National Guard.[7] In 2004 his unit was called to Guantánamo Bay, where he served as an infantry platoon leader. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. Shortly after returning from Cuba, Hegseth volunteered to serve in Baghdad and Samarra, where he held the position of infantry platoon leader and, later in Samarra, as civil–military operations officer. During his time in Iraq, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, and a second Army Commendation Medal.[8]

Conservative activism and Senate campaign

Upon return from Iraq, Hegseth worked briefly at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. According to his LinkedIn page, Hegseth left the conservative think tank in 2007 to work at Vets For Freedom as executive director.[9] He worked at Vets for Freedom until 2012.[9] Vets for Freedom advocated for a greater troop presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.[9] Hegseth formed the political action committee MN PAC in 2012.[9]

Hegseth was the executive director for Concerned Veterans for America, an advocacy group funded by the Koch brothers.[2] The group advocated for greater privatization of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).[2] According to his LinkedIn page, he left the group in 2015.[2]

2012 Senate campaign

Hegseth ran for the Republican nomination for the 2012 United States Senate election in Minnesota.[9] He withdrew from the race after the May 2012 convention, before the Republican primary election in August,[10][11] both in which Kurt Bills won nomination.

Questioned spending

While Hegseth was its chief executive, Concerned Veterans for America hired his brother Philip to work for the non-profit and paid him $108,000 according to tax records from 2016 and 2017. Asked about it, Hegseth's lawyer said that Philip, a May 2015 university graduate, was qualified for the media relations job, and noted there is no prohibition against private entities hiring family members.[9]

An APM Reports analysis found that while Hegseth ran the MN PAC political action committee, one third of its $15,000 in funds were spent on Christmas parties for families and friends. Campaign finance laws in Minnesota do not prohibit such spending. Less than half of the PAC's resources was spent on candidates, and as of March 2018, the PAC had closed its account with the state board.[9]

Punditry

During the 2016 Republican primaries, he initially backed Marco Rubio, then Ted Cruz and ultimately Donald Trump.[9] Hegseth has since then emerged as a strong Trump supporter.[9] As a Fox News personality, he has frequently attacked the media, Democrats and Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.[9] Hegseth has appeared on Fox News Channel, as well as on CNN and MSNBC.[12][13][14]

Fox News

Hegseth joined Fox News as a contributor in 2014.[9]

On June 14, 2015, Hegseth threw an axe which struck and injured a member of the West Point Band.[15] During a live broadcast on Fox & Friends promoting an upcoming segment about the Stihl Timbersports Series, the co-host threw a double-bit lumberjack axe that overshot the wooden target and hit drummer SFC Jeff Prosperie across his right elbow.[16] The axe head hit broadside on the arm such that Prosperie narrowly missed significant injury, but he did sustain minor cuts across the wrist as the axe tumbled after the initial impact. Co-ordination of the event and broadcast between the West Point Band and Fox had assured that there would be no axe throwing while the service members were performing behind the target.[17][18]

In September 2017, Hegseth interviewed President Donald Trump. Hegseth received criticism for allowing Trump to make false claims without challenging him.[19][20] For instance, Trump falsely asserted on at least six instances in the interview that the attempt to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act failed because of a "hospitalized senator", yet Hegseth never pressed him on it.[19][20][21] According to an opinion column in the Washington Post, Hegseth's "interview was notable for one reason: a viewer who got most of his news from Fox heard only scant details about the contents of Cassidy-Graham. As with the previous attempts to partially repeal the ACA, the bill was covered less for its substance than as a question of whether Republicans could deliver a "win" on a key issue."[22] Philip Bump of the Washington Post provided a list of all notable claims that Trump made during the interview that, in his opinion, warranted follow-up questions which Hegseth never asked.[23] Hegseth was speculatively mentioned as a hypothetical replacement for VA Secretary David Shulkin.[24]

In May 2018, Hegseth mocked The New York Times for ostensibly not covering a story about the capture of five ISIS leaders, referring to the paper as the "failing New York Times".[25] However, it was The New York Times that broke the story in question.[25]

In December 2018, Hegseth co-hosted a several-hour New Year's Eve program with Fox Business Network's Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, during which a pre-recorded telephone interview between him and President Trump was broadcast.[26][27]

In May 2019, it was reported that Trump was considering pardoning several US military service members who had been charged with war crimes, including a veteran set to stand trial for shooting indiscriminately at civilians, hitting a girl and an elderly man, as well as fatally stabbing a captured teenage Islamic State member while he was receiving medical treatment. The Daily Beast and CNN later reported that Hegseth had for months sought to convince Trump to pardon these individuals. At the same time, Hegseth was discussing these cases on Fox News without disclosing that he had advised Trump to pardon them.[28][29]

In July 2019, Hegseth said that one of the Muslim members of Congress, Rashida Tlaib, had a "Hamas agenda", referring to the Palestinian terrorist organization.[30] In August 2019, Hegseth expressed support for the far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer's congressional campaign, and linked to her donation page.[31]

In August 2019, he lamented that "young kids voting" are worried about the adverse effects of climate change. Hegseth also criticized universities for teaching students about "environmentalism and radical environmentalism" rather than a "real threat" such as "radical Islam".[32]

Personal life

Hegseth was divorced from his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, in 2009. He married his second wife, Samantha Deering, in 2010; they have three children.[9] During his marriage to Deering, Hegseth had a daughter with Fox executive producer Jennifer Rauchet, with whom he was having an extramarital relationship, in August 2017.[9] He and Deering divorced in August 2017. Hegseth and Rauchet married in August 2019.[33]

In early August 2019, Hegseth swam across the Hudson River with Navy SEALs in support of military veterans.[34]
