Financial reports show the potential defense secretary’s pay from past speaking and writing, some of which provided fodder for senators during his confirmation hearing.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to run the Pentagon, earned more than $6 million over the last two years thanks to income as a Fox News host, book royalties and speaking fees, according to his financial disclosure statement.

Hegseth delivered 41 paid speeches across the country over the last two years, earning $900,000 along the way.
