Summary

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, to at least two high-level foreign meetings where sensitive information was discussed, according to The Wall Street Journal.

One meeting included U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey, and another took place at a NATO summit in Brussels.

Defense officials called her presence unusual, as attendees typically hold security clearances.

The Pentagon did not confirm whether Jennifer Hegseth has a clearance. Her involvement raises security concerns, given the classified nature of the discussions.

    Would go better than this, actually. He’d be incompetent but he’d know that and I think he’d at least attempt to surround himself with competence.

      There are few things that wouldn’t go better than this 😔 Bill Burr would be a massive improvement, no question.

        John Stewart would be a good Secretary of State…
