https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/politics/john-fetterman-pete-hegseth-meeting/index.html"Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said he expects to bring up a series of allegations against Donald Trumps pick to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, when the two men sit down for their first meeting later Thursday.
I know there havent been any formal charges or criminal ones. But its all - one of the things that Im sure perhaps might come up in that conversation today, Fetterman told CNN, when asked about allegations including excessive drinking and sexual assault. But I am aware there are some allegations, of course.
Notably, Fetterman is not ruling out support for Hegseth ahead of his meeting, which will make him the first Senate Democrat to sit down with Trumps defense pick."
Senator Fetterman is on a roll this week! Perhaps trying to straddle the line in swing state PA?

Done before makes any difference. Witnesses or no witnesses. Doesn't matter if you are a convicted felon either.

Dont you think its time that he started dressing appropriately for congress, especially since finding out that he's no one special.
