"Trump Invited ‘Fox & Friends’ Co-Host Pete Hegseth to Private Dinner at White House"

The post headline is the headline used by The Wrap, with this image:


With his FOX job is Hegseth anything of a present presence in Minnesota? He gets a tout from local Republican mavens, but is it more than a visit/chat? And why does nobody ask the guy what his precise job duties were when serving at the Gitmo detention camp? That service has to be a part of making Hegseth who he is today. So what did he do there?

UPDATE: Hegseth, In the twin cities, apparently briefly, per this link. Do you suppose he merits a Clinton/Goldman speaking fee for such an appearance, or was there more to Clinton/Goldman affairs? Despite it all, and besides being a hell of a bad aim throwing an axe, Hegseth has seemed to me to have feet of clay. Despite a range of touting, what's truth and what's fiction?

FURTHER:Bio, at Premier Speakers Bureau. Minnesota not mentioned. Nor Hegseth's candidacy history as noted online:
