   Hegseth Routinely Passed Out from Alcohol Abuse

   “Pete Hegseth, President Trump's pick to run the Pentagon, regularly   
   abused alcohol to the point that he passed out at family gatherings, and   
   once needed to be dragged out of a strip club while in uniform, according   
   to an ex-relative's account of his behavior,” the Wall Street Journal   
   reports.   
      
   “The sworn statement, submitted in response to a request from Sen. Jack   
   Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services   
   Committee, was signed by Hegseth's former sister in law, Danielle   
   Hegseth.”   
      
   “It states that she was with Hegseth when he passed out from drunkenness   
   in the bathroom of a bar in Minneapolis in about 2013. It also describes   
   another night, when she said Hegseth drank so much at a restaurant in   
   Minneapolis that the Uber driver had to pull over on Interstate 94 so he   
   could throw up.”   
      
   New York Times: “A handful of Republicans who have learned of the   
   accusations in recent days have privately raised serious concerns about   
   them, suggesting that the new information could potentially sap the   
   necessary support for his approval by the Senate.”
