West Point has apologized for sharing inaccurate information regarding Pete Hegseth. The institution acknowledged that the information was not only inaccurate but also misleading. ProPublica researched the claim that Hegseth had applied to the school, later releasing a statement about the debacle.
West Point emphasized the importance of ensuring that their communications are truthful. Hegseth has faced some pushback after becoming President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, even from some notable Republicans such as Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst.
