Pete Hegseth, a former military serviceman who hosts a show on Fox News and was chosen by President Trump for a possible position in the Pentagon, revealed his Fox News salary during the next phase of his confirmation process as a prospective cabinet member for the upcoming administration.
Pete Hegseth disclosed that his earnings amounted to $4,602,340 as a salary while working at the network, where he’s been co-hosting Fox & Friends Weekend since 2017. However, he resigned from this position in November after being put forward by Donald Trump for the Secretary of Defense role.
In a filing dated January 13th, Hegseth revealed to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics that he received income from his book “Battle for the American Mind” published by HarperCollins, ranging between $100,000 and $1,000,000, as well as a $348,000 advance for his upcoming book “The War on Warriors” at the same publisher. Additionally, he received honorariums amounting to tens of thousands (such as $25,000 from the National Rifle Association and $25,000 from the Heritage Foundation) for speaking engagements and lectures delivered to various corporations and political groups in recent years.
The host on Fox News was an unexpected choice, one of several selected by Trump in the days following his win at the presidential election. “Nobody is more dedicated to our military personnel, and Pete will be a brave and loyal advocate for our ‘Strength through Peace’ policy,” Trump said as he announced the selection.
After being nominated, former Army National Guard veteran and combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, Pete Hegseth, faced criticism. Just a few days after his nomination, accusations emerged that a woman had filed a police report in Monterey, California in 2017, alleging sexual assault against him. Hegseth denied the claim, and President Trump continued to support his choice. In response to this situation, Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, explained to CNN in November that the police report supported what Hegseth had stated from the beginning: that the incident was thoroughly investigated, and the police found the allegations to be baseless, which is why no charges were filed.
On January 14th, I’m all set to have a chat with the Senate Armed Services Committee right here on Capitol Hill. It’s part of my confirmation process, so fingers crossed! (As a gamer, this might be more like an in-game mission or a level up challenge, but we’ll see!)
