The Senate voted Friday night on the confirmation of Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth.

Newly minted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stripped the personal security detail and security clearance of former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley on Tuesday.

The aggressive posture, inspired by Trump, meant going after not only Democrats, the media and Hegseth’s accusers — but also their own party.

Vice President Vance cast a tie-breaking vote as Hegseth overcame allegations of sexual assault, public drunkenness and questions of financial mismanagement to win Senate approval.

The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.

Joe anchors reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for stripping retired general and former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley’s security detail and clearance. Milley served under the first Trump administration but went on to criticize the President.

The newly sworn-in defense secretary outlined plans on Saturday to advance the president's defense priorities.

A Princeton and Harvard-educated former combat veteran, Hegseth went on to make a career at Fox News, where he hosted a weekend show. Trump tapped him as the defense secretary to lead an organization with nearly 2.1 million service members, about 780,000 civilians and a budget of $850 billion.

The push for Gabbard comes ahead of her confirmation hearing Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Trump’s order to push out transgender troops, issued late Monday night, was instantly condemned by an array of activist groups as exceptionally egregious and ultimately harmful to military readiness. They say transgender people have been serving successfully for years, including openly on and off for the past decade.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revoked Gen. Mark Milley's security clearance and detail, ordered an investigation into his conduct, and escalated tensions with the retired general, a frequent target of Trump's criticism.
