Pete Hegseth Fox News Career
On June 14, 2015, while filming a live TV segment in honor of Flag Day, Fox News contributor Roger Hegseth inadvertently hit a West Point drummer with an axe. According to the drummer, he suffered “only minor injuries” but was “joyfully speaking on camera as if the accident never happened.” On December 1, 2018, he mocked The New York Times for ostensibly failing to cover a story about the capture of five ISIS leaders, referring to the paper as the “failing New York Times,” despite the fact that The New York Times broke the story. In May 2019, it was reported that President Trump was considering pardoning several US military personnel accused of war crimes.
Simultaneously, Hegseth was discussing these cases on Fox News without revealing that he had advised Trump to pardon them.

Shortly before Trump announced his decision, Hegseth hinted that Trump was about to take “immediate action” in the cases.
