Samantha Hegseth denies that her ex-husband ever abused her. She signed legal documents to that effect and when reached for comment by NBC, denied it once again. And while the headlines all kind of imply this was Hegseth's ex-wife's sister, it's actually Hegseth's brother's ex-wife.

Hegseth's lawyers have dismissed her as, quote, an anti-Trump far-left Democrat who was divorced from Mr. Hegseth's brother and never got along with the Hegseth family. So it doesn't look like this will do much to derail Hegseth's road to heading up the Pentagon, but it just shows that he's not out of the woods yet and still has some opposition to his confirmation.

We have a much lighter hearing schedule this week, and the main event was definitely Tuesday's hearing for Elise Stefanik, Trump's pick for ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik spent the majority of her time talking about China and its influence on the U.N., saying specifically that the United States needed to work more with smaller countries to fight Chinese influence in the global south.

She also urged lawmakers to exercise caution with the new Syrian government and said that countering Iran would be one of the Trump administration's top priorities. And she spoke out about the U.N. 's role in funding terrorism through its Relief and Works Agency. Trump had cut off American funding to the agency just before Stefanik's hearing.

All in all, Stefanik really showed that she knew the ins and outs of the U.N. and seems poised to be pretty easily confirmed.
