New Yorker: “Republican senators have disparaged anonymous critics of Hegseth. But some of these senators have also declined to speak face to face and confidentially with such critics, including the woman who accused Hegseth of rape.”
“Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, is one of the senators who have turned down offers to hear privately from Hegseth’s accuser… Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, also declined an offer to meet with the alleged victim.”
