Trump DOD pick Hegseth paid female accuser but denies sexual assault, attorney says. Bad move!

I am not familiar with the details of this case! And many fact are not yet known.

However, if Hegseth indeed paid this woman for something he did not do and gave in to extortion or to a liar, because it could potentially damage his career. This does not look good on him. Perhaps a lack of judgement!

It was also clearly short sighted of him! Forgetting if he should ever aspire to a higher job this would most likely come back to haunt him.
