Exclusive: Liquor Stash Photos Bolster NBC Report on Pete Hegseth Drinking AllegationsSocial media posts discovered by MeidasTouch reveal Trump's Defense nominee stored bottles of alcohol in his office at work
Written by J.D. Wolf
Multiple social media posts reviewed by MeidasTouch reveal that Pete Hegseth maintained a liquor stash in his office for years. NBC News recently reported that "Pete Hegseth's drinking worried colleagues at Fox News," citing 10 current and former Fox News employees as sources. NBC News stated that "Trump’s pick for defense secretary drank in ways that concerned his co-workers." Sources reported smelling alcohol on Hegseth before he went on air and hearing him talk about being hungover while preparing for broadcasts.
One source even claimed to have smelled alcohol on Hegseth as recently as last month. In response, the Trump transition team defended Hegseth, who has reportedly been trying to assure Republican Senators that he is fit to lead the military, even promising to abstain from drinking entirely after being sworn in.  During an appearance on the Megyn Kelly Show, Hegseth denied having a drinking problem and challenged anyone to “check the tape” for evidence of his alleged on-the-job drinking or personal issues with alcohol. MeidasTouch took him up on that challenge, releasing footage of Hegseth drinking champagne directly from a bottle and participating in a champagne-filled dunk tank during a New Year’s Eve broadcast. Hegseth even allowed his children to sample the champagne in the dunk tank while on air, and Fox News promoted the segment on its website and social media platforms.  In addition, MeidasTouch has uncovered multiple social media posts from Hegseth’s own accounts that display a personal liquor stash in his Fox News office. While the exact contents of the dunk tank and bottles cannot be independently verified, the consistent presence of alcohol in Hegseth's workspace raises significant questions and bolsters the credibility of NBC's reporting.

 The collection appears to include eight bottles, accompanied by two drinking glasses.

This video, combined with the earlier post, confirms that the stash was present in his office in both 2023 and 2024.

These posts collectively show that Hegseth’s liquor collection has been a feature of his office for a span of up to six years, from 2019 to 2024. Over time, the bottles in the collection appear to change, indicating consistent usage or replenishment.
This visual evidence lends additional credibility to the NBC News report, corroborating allegations from unnamed sources who claimed they smelled alcohol on Hegseth’s breath while he was working. Together, these findings paint a clearer picture of Hegseth’s work environment and the concerns raised by his colleagues.
