Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s wife is causing concern among federal officials for her reportedly near-constant presence with her husband as he deals with sensitive military plans and has inappropriately brought her along to meetings with lawmakers and at least one foreign official.
Hegseth reportedly shared information about military operations against the Houthis in a second Signal group chat that included his wife, Jennifer Rauchet, his brother and his personal lawyer, Tim Parlatore, according to a New York Times report over the weekend.
