CNN is reporting that the FBI got a new statement from Samantha Hegseth last week about his past drinking and it was just revealed apparently, probably by a Democrat trying to sink Hegseth’s nomination.

And it really isn’t much of a statement to be honest and it’s very dated. She told the FBI that “[Pete] drinks more often than he doesn’t.” That’s it.

She and Pete divorced 8 years ago.

Here’s more from CNN:

Pete Hegseth’s ex-wife recently gave a new statement to the FBI about the defense nominee’s alcohol use, according to two sources familiar with the matter, an issue that has become a source of controversy during his confirmation process.

Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker and the ranking Democratic member Jack Reed were briefed on Samantha Hegseth’s statement, which has not been previously reported, on January 16, two days after the committee held Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, the sources said. Wicker and Reed were initially briefed about the FBI’s background check before the confirmation hearing, according to another source familiar with the matter. Since then, the FBI has interviewed Samantha Hegseth and has included her statement in its supplemental review.

In the briefing, Wicker and Reed were told the FBI connected with Samantha Hegseth and that she gave a statement in which she discussed concerns about Pete Hegseth’s drinking. One source familiar with the statement said Samantha Hegseth told the FBI, “He drinks more often than he doesn’t.”

The source familiar noted that Samantha and Pete Hegseth have been divorced since 2017.

“There’s nothing new here and we look forward to the confirmation vote,” Tim Parlatore, Pete Hegseth’s lawyer, told CNN.

Samantha Hegseth has not responded to CNN’s request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

Raju says no Republicans have said they were opposing Hegseth’s confirmation yet, but we did report earlier that Fox News is being told that McConnell, Collins and Murkowski are the ones who will possibly vote against him.
