“First of all, the police report, if you look at it, it’s very clear that what Pete was saying, what his attorney was saying was accurate. There was no case here. He was falsely accused! If you go back and you read the report, there was two eyewitnesses said that she was being the aggressor — Pete wasn’t even flirting with her. He was flirting with a different girl. And the other girl was trying to flirt with Pete. The Jane Doe here, that is unmentioned.
“They also said that she was holding his arm as they were leaving and that Pete was intoxicated and the Jane Doe was not. They obviously said, multiple people said, that she was aggressively, to the point of aggressively, used the word ‘aggressively flirting towards him.’ He wasn’t charged. He wasn’t even kind of charged. There was no crime committed.” – Sen. Markwayne Mullin, quoting Hegseth’s own attorney in the sexual assault case.
