"As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources."
Senator Joni Ernst released a statement on Monday saying that she has had "encouraging conversations" with President-elect Donald Trump's Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
"I appreciate Pete Hegseth’s responsiveness and respect for the process. Following our encouraging conversations, Pete committed to completing a full audit of the Pentagon and selecting a senior official who will uphold the roles and values of our servicemen and women — based on quality and standards, not quotas — and who will prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks."
"As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources."
Per a report from The Hill Monday afternoon, Hegseth said following a 30-minute sit-down meeting between the two that they had a "great meeting."
"She had been dedicated to making the Pentagon work for war-fighters for a long time," Hegseth said. "We’ve had great extensive conversations about that, and I just appreciate her commitment to the process, and we look forward to working together."
