Trump's Defense pick Pete Hegseth once hit a man with an axe on live TV, unearthed clip goes viral on the web; here's all about the incident

After his thumping victory in the US Presidential elections 2024, Donald Trump has already begun drafting his Cabinet, and is announcing names of his Cabinet picks each day. He has already picked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for his new federal department DOGE, and has named Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense. However, Trump's defense pick has already landed himself into a major controversy after a video of Hegseth assaulting a man with an axe went viral on the web soon after Trump's announcement.

Was Hegseth sued for throwing an axe at a drummer?

Hegseth was captured on cameras, hitting a drummer with an axe on Live TV, an incident that happened back in 2015, during a Fox & Friends segment. His assault had 'almost killed' the man and even though it is still not known what happened after the drummer filed a lawsuit against Hegseth, this much is enough to create mass chaos and confusion in the US political landscape and raise doubts on Trump's cabinet choices.

Hegseth's axe-throwing video viral

However, the important part was that the drummer was okay, and did not meet any fatal mishap, but sued Hegseth anyways. The case was put under wraps soon after, and there is still no knowledge of what happened after the incident. The video has been tweeted and reposted thousands of times by X and Facebook users, and has the potential of giving Trump a huge headache in the coming days.
