Senate panel quietly seeking more info on Pete Hegseth ahead of confirmation hearings: Sources.

Committee appears to be looking deeper into recently reported accusations of a 2017 sexual assault as well as allegations of financial misconduct.

The allegations have created an uphill climb for the former Fox News host, who can only afford to lose three Senate Republicans .

Hegseth has since been submitted for a full FBI background check, according to his attorney.

Wicker has not yet publicly endorsed the nominee, but said he thinks he'll be in "pretty good shape" regarding his confirmation.

The Republican senator will oversee the nomination hearing before the Armed Services Committee .

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform: " Pete is a WINNER".
