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.
Hegseth has also expressed fear and paranoia about President Donald Trump firing him, the report noted.
Now, Hegseth has brought his wife, Jennifer Rauchet, a fellow former Fox News producer, to some meetings and she sits in the back of the room.
