Pete Hegseth's nomination to be Secretary of Defense likely to be a test of loyalty for Republican stalwarts.

Some GOP stalwarts stood at the center of a bid 10 years ago to remove the head of a veterans' charity over allegations of financial mismanagement, repeated intoxication and sexual misconduct.

Jessie Jane Duff , a Marine veteran who served as one of President-elect Donald Trump's campaign executive directors, led the effort to oust Hegsetsh as head of Concerned Veterans of America in 2016 .

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth has faced scrutiny over his personal life and whether he has the experience to manage the Defense Department .

The organization was formed in 2011 as a Koch -funded non-profit group called " Vets for Economic Freedom Trust " The group promotes conservative views in the arenas of both the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs .
