Hegseth has asked for more than $130,000 to repair a government-furnished home, $49,000 of which is for an ‘emergency’ paint job.
Hours earlier, Griffin posted a letter from Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee to Hegseth asking the defense secretary to explain why he required more than $130,000 for home repairs for his government-furnished house, including $49,000 for an “emergency” paint job.
Pete Hegseth aggressively pushed back on a Fox News colleague’s report about a letter from Democrats to the defense secretary, claiming it was “fake news” despite the factual information.
Since Hegseth is choosing to live in the home, Democrats have asked him to justify why he needs the government-provided home, why it needs to be improved and how much he plans to pay in rent.
In their letter, Democrats pointed out that Hegsth will earn an annual income of $246,000 and already has millions of dollars from his former career as a Fox News host.
