Trump picks Fox News host and veteran as defense secretary

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and military veteran, as his pick for defense secretary.

In a statement, Trump described Hegseth as "tough, smart and a true believer in America First."
"With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down," Trump said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., applauded Trump’s selection, calling Hegseth a “great choice.”
