New and resurrected sexual misconduct allegations against Trump’s controversial cabinet picks are to be expected.

As I suggested in our most recent episode of the HOT ZONE about Trump’s atypical cabinet picks, it is very likely that the opposition is now scouring the landscape for women who are willing and able to make sexual conduct allegations against these men. We saw this with Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh, and it is very likely we will see it again with the men whom Trump has chosen for his cabinet.

I therefore wasn’t surprised by the CNN headline that just hit the wire—Police report reveals new details from sexual assault allegation against Trump’s defense secretary nominee. As stated in the report:

A California woman told police that Trump Cabinet pick Pete Hegseth physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone, and then sexually assaulted her even though she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” a police report obtained by CNN shows.

The 22-page report, released by the city attorney’s office of Monterey, California, on Wednesday night in response to a public records request, lays out the competing narratives of what happened in new detail – including conflicting accounts of how intoxicated Hegseth and the woman were, and descriptions of video surveillance showing some of their movements that night.
