The American Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth again frowned in the United States. Now it came out that the former Fox News presenter had participated in his wife Jennifer in very sensitive conversations with foreign military representatives. She apparently annoyed different participants.
HegseTh has concentrated in recent days because he shared detailed attack plans with a journalist in a civil messenger app-without realizing it. Now Donald Trump’s husband has to ask uncomfortable questions again in the Pentagon. This time for his wife.
Jennifer Hegseeth would have participated in at least two meetings with foreign military representatives. The “Wall Street Journal” reports that sensitive information has been discussed. Hegseeth, a former Fox News producer, was present in the Pentagon during a meeting on March 6 on March 6 with the British Minister of Defense John Haley.
Important appointment?
The woman was also in the room at a top of the contact group for the defense of Ukraine in Brussels in February. Sensitive content about the Russian war war was discussed. The wife of Pete Hegseeth gave confusion among some participants during the meeting, according to the “Wall Street Journal”. Many did not know who Jennifer Hegseeth was. It is unclear whether your presence has influenced the important date.
The incident causes a new excitement about the understanding of the safety of the US Minister of Defense. It is not clear whether his wife has a corresponding security approval to participate in this meeting. The ministry has so far been guilty of clarification. In any case, his wife is not managed as the official employee of the Pentagon.
Accusation of nepotism
After the “Signalgate” scandal, this incident strengthens the criticism of his office. Especially since he is accused of wanting to transform the Pentagon into a kind of family business. Hegseeth’s younger brother Phil got a prominent consultant role and accompanied him on official trips, for example to Guantánamo Bay. His brother apparently seems “coordinative”.
The professional background of Phil Hegseeth makes accusations of nepotism possible. His qualification is rather unconventional for such an influential position: before his work in the Pentagon he founded a podcast company and worked in the past for the Conservative Hudson Institute in the field of social media.
Democrats call for a dismissal at Hegseeth
Although the Pentagon debt for the leak in the Signal Group chat mainly with the national security adviser Mike Waltz, the ability of Hegseeth was also questioned with the sensitive nature of his work. The Democrats have already demanded his resignation several times.
