Hegseth Defends Support For Torture And War Crimes

CNN reports:

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, defended his support for service members accused and convicted of war crimes on Tuesday, saying there was “prosecutorial misconduct” in their cases and that he was “proud” to ensure they were looked after.

“In many of the cases you’re talking about in particular, sir, there was evidence withheld, there was prosecutorial misconduct, and as someone who looks case by case and defaults to the war fighter — to the men and women with dust on their boots, not the second guessers in air conditioned offices in Washington, DC — I looked case by case and was proud to work with President Trump to understand those cases and ensure that our warriors are always looked out for.”
