Pentagon flags Pete Hegseth, Trump's DoD pick, as potential "Insider Threat" over white supremacist tattoo.

Pete Hegseth, nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a potential "Insider Threat" due to a tattoo associated with white supremacist groups. A fellow service member raised concerns about Hegseth’s tattoo of "Deus Vult," a phrase linked to white supremacists. Hegseth has downplayed the role of military members in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack and criticized the Pentagon's efforts to address extremism.
