It's actually worse than that. The story now says he was one 12 members of the National Guard who were removed from a detail that was supposed to protect Biden during the inauguration. He was removed because another member of the team wrote a letter to his superior identifying Hegseth as a potential "insider threat" because of the tattoo and statements he had made, the other 11 either had similar tattoos or had made "extremist" statements online.
They literally removed this guy from a detail that was supposed to protect Biden because they thought he might be a threat to Biden. And Hegseth has admitted it happened, and why but says the tattoo is just a Christian thing.
And yes, Trump was fully aware of this when he made the nomination
