Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon Picks Raise Questions Over Trump Family Business Ties The appointment of Pete Hegseth to head the Defense Policy Board (DPB) has generated significant concern, but it's what's happening behind closed doors that should be particularly alarming.
Two of Hegseth's new appointees, Marc Andreessen and Blake Masters, have ties to 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm co founded by Donald Trump Jr. 's business partner Omeed Malik.
The DPB is the Pentagon's most influential advisory body, providing strategic advice on force structure and national security.
