The FBI has interviewed multiple individuals about Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth's personal life as part of its background check investigation, asking questions about alleged extramarital affairs, his relationship with alcohol and his character, according to sources familiar with the matter.

As part of the background investigation, the FBI reached out to people in Hegseth's past, including individuals Hegseth has known much of his adult life, according to multiple sources familiar with the FBI's outreach and other sources briefed on the process.

Sources tell ABC News that Hegseth sat for an interview with the FBI in recent weeks. The Armed Services Committee is expected to hold Hegseth's confirmation hearing on Tuesday, ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration.

On Friday, the top Senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., were briefed on the results of Hegseth's FBI background investigation by a representative from Trump's transition team, according to sources familiar with the matter.

since Stump announced hoghead for secretary of defense and now. His handlers and the GQP senators have long since formulated the lies they will tell in response to the litany of scandals that will surely be brought out in the open next week. Unfortunately I think it's over there just aren't enough senators in the GQP with the integrity to stand up to diaper don. Hoghead is going to destroy the department of defense.
