said that Hegseth paid a woman who accused him of ******* assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement — but continued to deny the accusations that she made. Releasing the woman from the agreement would allow her to speak publicly.

Graham compared the situation to that of Brett Kavanaugh’s 2018 Supreme Court confirmation.

“Five people accused Justice Kavanaugh of misconduct. Three were outright lies, the other two, I think, were not credible,” he said, referencing Christine Blasey Ford and other accusers. “So we’re not going to let that happen to Pete. You’re not going to destroy his nomination based on anonymous sources.”

When asked if he’s prepared to vote yes on Hegseth’s confirmation at this point, Graham offered a tentative yes.

“I’m in a good place with Pete, unless something I don’t know about comes out,” he said. “These allegations are disturbing, but they’re anonymous.”

Graham added: “He’s given me his side of the story. It makes sense to me. I believe him. Unless somebody is willing to come forward, I think he’s going to get through.”
