Trump nominee to be top general denies wearing MAGA hat [View all]

Retired Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, President Donald Trump's nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied on Tuesday that he has ever worn a "Make America Great Again" hat or any other type of political merchandise.

In at least one retelling of Caine and Trump's first meeting in Iraq in 2018, the president has seemed to indicate Caine was wearing a red MAGA hat, something that would not be allowed under military rules.

The question was posed by some senators at Caine's confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"Let me start off by asking about some hyperbole that may have been out there in the press," Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said at the start of Tuesday's hearing. "Gen. Caine, did you wear a MAGA hat in front of the president?"
