Elizabeth Warren pressed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about allegations that he profited from war-related activities involving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/defense-stocks-outperform-after-russian-invasion-of-ukraine\/\" title=\"... ... &#039;Outperform&#039; After Russian Invasion of Ukraine\">defense stocks<\/a>. Warren referenced a report claiming Hegseth\u2019s broker tried to buy shares in a BlackRock defense-focused fund shortly before an Iran war began, arguing that his conduct violated rules related to defense-industry investing.<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth repeatedly denied the claims, calling the story false and asserting he does not seek money or profit from his role.He also said he ultimately has no conflicts as \u201cno one owns\u201d him or the department. warren continued by asking whether Hegseth\u2019s broker needed his approval before investing in individual defense companies, and Hegseth answered with denials, including stating he was making no investments.<\/p>\n<p>The clip went viral, and the comments beneath it were divided: some supported Warren, while others criticized her similarly for having faced accusations of personal enrichment connected to her government position.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Things got heated on Wednesday during a committee hearing.<\/p>\n<p>And as the temperature turned up, a searing hot spotlight was cast on both Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and progressive Massachusetts Democratic Sen.
