Jennifer Rauchet Hegseth is a former Fox News producer. I wonder if she was the one who got him his weekend slot.

Hegseth is a big fan of nepotism. It’s not the first time Phil Hegseth has worked alongside his older brother. When Pete Hegseth was CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, a nonprofit that fell into financial difficulty during his time there, he paid his brother $108,000 to do media relations for the organization, according to federal tax records. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/pete-hegseth-wife-jennifer-meetings-brother-phil-hegseth-pentagon.html
