<p>Journalist and attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a> weighed in this week on the sexual assault accusation swirling around Trump Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, saying the accusation &#8220;smells&#8221; and highlighting how police decided not to prosecute.</p>
<p>A police report concerning the allegation against Hegseth, a decorated combat veteran and former Fox News host, was released on Wednesday in response to a public records request. An unnamed woman claims Hegseth sexually assaulted her in a hotel room back in 2017. Hegseth said that the encounter was consensual and police decided against any further action.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Monterey Police did not bring charges,&#8221; Kelly said, noting that the accuser&#8217;s husband and children were apparently asleep down the hall in the hotel.</p>
<p>&#8220;Pete said that he had got swept up in some woman&#8217;s guilt trip over the fact that she chose to sleep with &#8216;Pete Hegseth, big Fox News star,&#8217; while her husband was asleep down the lane there in the hotel, and she didn&#8217;t want to tell him the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The cops chose not to prosecute,&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;If they had found date rape drug in her system &#8212; she said she had a rape exam the next morning &#8212; they 100% would have prosecuted him.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, to me, that one smells,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;And it smells bad.&#8221;</p>

<p>The police report says that Hegseth told authorities that he repeatedly sought the consent of the woman and made sure she was &#8220;comfortable with what was going on.&#8221; Video footage from the hotel shows the pair leaving a hotel bar with their arms locked together.</p>
<p>Hegseth&#8217;s attorney confirmed that his client paid the woman an undisclosed amount of money and had a confidentiality agreement out of fear that the woman would try to ruin Hegseth&#8217;s career, despite the host maintaining that the encounter was consensual.</p>
