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. It also comes as Hegseth leads the nation’s efforts in the Iran war and constantly promotes the success the U.S. has had in its attacks. Hegseth has now grown increasingly isolated within the Pentagon, according to The Guardian.

Hegseth has also expressed fear and paranoia about Donald Trump firing him, the report noted.

    Exactly! Something movies get wrong all of the time. Level of clearance is not the gate to access. Yes, you can’t get access without the clearance but you have to be given the access afterwards.

    Especially at or above top secret, usually involves getting specific clearance, being read into the program and usually some training on how to specifically handle data and hardware.
