Pete Hegseth is now bringing his wife to Pentagon meetings after he ousted top officials: report

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is now bringing his wife to meetings with Pentagon staffers as his inner circle grows tighter, according to a report.

The move comes as Hegseth has faced increased criticism and ousted more than two dozen Pentagon officials in recent weeks.

Hegseth has now grown increasingly isolated within the Pentagon, according to The Guardian.
