War Secretary Pete Hegseth is coming under fire after it was revealed in a financial disclosure that his wife was paid by a Washington consulting firm while he was serving in the top Pentagon post. Hegseth has become a top target for Democratic lawmakers as they threaten investigations against Trump Administration officials.Last night, Rep. Chris Delusio (D-PA) declared that “Pete Hegseth should be gone as defense secretary” over the war in Iran, noting that he plans to push for “real oversight.” He further said he wants to impeach Hegseth if President Trump does not fire him.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v7fp6vu","div":"rumble_v7fp6vu"});On Wednesday, Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said in an angry social media video, “I’m going after Pete Hegseth,” accusing him of “undermining our national security and the safety of our troops.”“Everything from threatening to do live executions, via live stream, to disparaging women and folks of color, and undermining our national security at every turn,” he said. “I’m going to be relentless night and day to get him out of the Pentagon and to restore the culture of respect and diversity in our military.”!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v7fpf1s","div":"rumble_v7fpf1s"});Now, it’s being reported that Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, who has taken on a role as a de facto advisor and media strategist for her husband, even reportedly sitting in on high-level meetings, was paid an undisclosed sum of money by a top Trump-connected DC lobbying firm that has provided consulting to defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin.Jennifer Hegseth is a former longtime executive producer at Fox News and a former Vice President of Fox Nation.“It should be no surprise that a public affairs firm would want to work with one of the biggest former star producers at Fox News, the nation’s preeminent conservative news outlet,” a spokesperson for the firm, Watchtower, told Politico in a statement. “Jen has assisted us in navigating conservative TV media, and we appreciate her help. She has not interfaced with any clients nor does she provide any advice to Watchtower on defense matters.”Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell also responded, telling Politico, “Secretary Hegseth and his wife are in full compliance with all ethics laws and regulations, and their sole focus is serving our warfighters, President Trump, and the American people.”Still, this could raise problems for Hegseth as Democratic subpoenas are expected to fly, and any perceived wrongdoing will face intense scrutiny.Former Rep. Matt Gaetz responded to the reporting, writing, “Wives of Cabinet members shouldn’t be paid by lobbyists.”“I’m a former member of the House Armed Services Committee,” Gaetz said, noting that he would have exposed the same “wrongdoing” if it were the wife of Biden’s Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin.I’m a former member of the House Armed Services Committee.If Lloyd Austin’s wife was working for a lobbying firm while he was leading the Pentagon, I would have exposed the wrongdoing.Wives of Cabinet members shouldn’t be paid by lobbyists, @SecWar.— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) November 4, 2026The post As Democrats Eye Hegseth Impeachment, Hegseth’s Wife Comes Under Fire for Lobbyist Work appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
