Former Fox News host and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth recently faced calls to resign when it came out that he had been sharing military secrets in a Signal group chat with his wife, former Fox News producer Jennifer Rauchet. To make matters worse, Hegseth is in hot water again after a third group chat including Rauchet, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, and former Fox News producer Tami Radabaugh was uncovered.
Meanwhile, Radabaugh made headlines twice in two weeks, after she reportedly suggested her former colleague Hegseth install a make-up room in the Pentagon to prep for TV appearances.
