“I love President Trump, but he’s not infallible,” Kelly explained. “And from time to time, you know, personnel mistakes will be made.”

“I was once accused of sexual assault, falsely,” Kelly said. “I would never in a billion years pay that person a dime. That doesn’t sound like a fighter. That sounds like somebody who’s blackmailable. And I’m not comfortable with that individual being the secretary of defense.”On Wednesday, Kelly delivered a savage critique of Hegseth with a nod to Gaetz, who was accused of sex crimes and drug abuse.
