@heidilifeldman We used to do that on Twitter about 15 years ago. I met a lot of really nice people. I’m only still in touch with a few now as they’re all spread to the winds.

Hegseth agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the woman because he feared that revelation of the matter “would result in his immediate termination from Fox,” where he works as a host..”
