MIAMI – Two sources familiar with the transition tell CBS News that President-elect Donald Trump is considering naming Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his pick for Defense Secretary, replacing embattled Fox News host Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth has faced allegations of past sexual and workplace misconduct which have come to light in recent news reports.
The Wall Street Journal was first to report this story.
Trump and DeSantis attended a memorial for fallen Palm Beach County deputies on Tuesday.
DeSantis has not commented on the reports.
