Senator Mark Kelly: I asked Pete Hegseth if any of the answers he gave today about the numerous allegations made against him would have been different if he were under oath. He didn’t answer.

Representative Andy Biggs: Corrupt Jack Smith and his cronies saw the writing on the wall and tried to get out of dodge. Our message to anyone who perpetuated Biden-Harris's weaponized government: We will hold you to account.
