Drunk at Fox News?

NBC is out with a story that claims former Fox and Friends host Pete Hegseth drank in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News.

This is according to 10 current and former Fox employees who spoke with NBC News.

One of the sources said they smelled alcohol on him as recently as last month and heard him complain about being hungover this fall.

NBC writes this account of Hegseth’s time at Fox News is based on NBC News interviews with three current and seven former Fox employees, all of whom asked not to be named because of fear of retaliation. 

Three current employees said his drinking remained a concern up until Trump announced him as his choice to run the Pentagon, at which point Hegseth left Fox.

“He’s such a charming guy, but he just acted like the rules didn’t apply to him,” one of the former employees said.
