Trump nominee Pete Hegseth faces fresh scrutiny over alleged alcohol misuse and sexual misconduct.

• A new magazine report has emerged, accusing Pete Hegseth, who has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Pentagon, of alcohol abuse, sexual misconduct, and mismanagement while running two veterans' non-profit organizations.
• According to a previously undisclosed whistleblower complaint, Hegseth was frequently drunk while serving as president of the Concerned Veterans of America, to the extent that he needed to be carried out of the organization's events.
• In 2017, a woman at a Republican event in California accused Hegseth of sexual assault, but no criminal charges were filed against him.

A new magazine report has emerged, accusing Pete Hegseth of alcohol abuse, sexual impropriety, and mismanagement while serving as head of two veterans' non-profit organizations.

According to a report published Sunday by The New Yorker, Hegseth was frequently drunk while serving as president of the Concerned Veterans of America and required assistance to leave the organization's events.

According to The New Yorker, Hegseth was restrained while drunk and attempted to join the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team. The report, compiled by several former C.V.A. employees, was sent to the group's senior management.

According to the report, Hegseth and his management team pursued the female staffers sexually, dividing them into two groups: 'party girls' and 'not party girls,' as stated by The New Yorker.

The whistleblower report and the letter of complaint have not been seen by CNBC.

In 2016, Hegseth was removed as president of C.V.A. due to allegations of mismanagement and excessive alcohol consumption on the job, according to a magazine report that cited three knowledgeable sources, one of whom contributed to the whistleblower report.

Hegseth's attorney, Timothy Parlatore, has been requested for comment by CNBC, despite earlier declining to comment to NBC News.

According to The New Yorker, Parlatore stated that the information he provided to the magazine came from an advisor to Hegseth, as identified by the attorney.

"We won't respond to unfounded allegations spread through The New Yorker by a bitter and vengeful former colleague of Mr. Hegseth's. Contact us again when you attempt real journalism."

The New Yorker article was not immediately responded to by Trump's transition team when requested for comment by CNBC.

Trump appointed Hegseth, a decorated U.S. military veteran and former Fox News host, as the next secretary of the Defense Department in November.

Almost immediately after his planned nomination, there were allegations that police in Monterey, California, had investigated Hegseth for a sexual assault of a woman in October 2017 at a hotel where a Republican women's convention was being held.

The woman, with whom Hegseth had consensual sex, was not charged with any crime after the investigation.

On Nov. 21, he stated to reporters on Capitol Hill: "Regarding the media, I'll keep it simple. The investigation is complete, and I was exonerated, so that's where I'll leave it."

In 2017, Hegseth was going through a divorce from his second wife. Two months prior to the alleged assault, his current wife, who was involved in an extramarital relationship with him, gave birth to their baby.

In November 2018, the Monterey County district attorney stated that her office did not file criminal charges against Hegseth in January 2018 due to insufficient evidence.

Hegseth settled with the woman for an undisclosed amount of money, maintaining his innocence, according to Parlatore's statement in mid-November.

At the height of the MeToo movement, Hegseth's attorney informed NBC News that he had agreed to a settlement for a reduced amount.

In November, a hotel worker who witnessed Hegseth and the accuser at a pool after two guests complained of a disturbance was interviewed by police investigators, according to the report on the sexual assault probe.

According to the police report, the worker claimed that Hegseth was extremely drunk, while the woman he was with was not intoxicated and was very clear-headed.

The woman later informed police that she had difficulty remembering the details of her time with Hegseth in his room.

The police wrote in their report that she "suspected that something may have been added to her drink, causing her to forget most of the night's events."
