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.

    What an idiotic and dangerous thing for him to say.

    Even doctors have HIPAA rules. You can’t go home and tell your spouse about your patient’s name and treatment.

    Acting flippant about sharing national security secrets with his spouse is egregiously dangerous for national security.

      He didn’t say this. I’m dunking on their predictability and craven natures. Guess I wasn’t too far off the mark.
