Peter Brian Hegseth (born June 6, 1980) is an American political commentator, television presenter, author and Army National Guard officer.[1] He was in the U.S. military with deployments to Cuba and Iraq. He has appeared on Fox News since 2014 and co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend from 2017 to 2024.[2][3] He was the executive director of Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America.
He was thought to be the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs under the Donald Trump presidency, but major veterans' groups objected, and in January 2017, David Shulkin was selected instead.[4][5]
In November 2024, President-elect Trump announced that he intends to nominate Hegseth for Secretary of Defense.[6]
