The latest addition to Pete Hegseth's Signal -Schat scandal is another glamorous former Fox News producer

Pete Hegseth was accused of opening another signal chat in which he wrote details about US military attacks, this time to one, to which his wife and a close friend and former Fox News colleague belonged.

Reports about Signal -Chat groups that were used to detail the strategy by the Pentagon have put DOD under fire in the past few weeks, with an investigation forcing several top employees, all of whom have questioned the probe.

A second group made the news that he contains Hegseth's wife, the former Fox News producer Jennifer Rauchet, his brother and his personal lawyer.

Now a third chat has been unveiled, which included his wife, the Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell and his former Fox producer Tami Radabaugh.

The Washington Post reported that Radaugh and Rauchet are close friends, while a closed Instagram page lists her biography as deputy assistant from Hegseth for strategic engagement.

Similar to Hegseth's brother and lawyer, even if Radabaugh works in the Pentagon, it is unclear whether it is necessary for them to know on the basis of military strikes.

From 2016, Radabaugh worked with the Hegseth's AT FOX and switched from Fox & Friends to the Vice President of Fox Nation from an executing producer.

She left Fox in 2023 to found a media company called State of Grace Media based on faith.

The story is largely focused on smoke, Hegseth's third woman and her influence, even though she has no official job in the Pentagon.

Rauchet is reportedly very focused on the media appearances that Hegseth does and projects a positive picture of her husband in the job.

“We would always hear that she said what kind of videos he should do and what kind of statements he should do and how the press should be treated,” a Pentagon source told the post.

She met with the Trump administration officers to discuss appointments and support candidates for jobs in the Pentagon.

'Secretary Hegseth has won more victories for DOD in 100 days than most secretaries in four years. We focus on results, said Kingsley Wilson, a Pentagon spokeswoman, in a statement.

Radabaugh replied to the request from Dailymail.com for comment.

After several reports on leaked groups about the private messaging service, each department in the second Trump administration made the greatest noise and set secretary Hegseth under fire.

The defense minister was angry about Lecks in the department and said Fox News: “I have no time for leakage” or the “Hoax Press, which accumulates old stories of angry employees”.

“Annoyed former employees appear to try to save their A **,” he said.

The LECKS included details of his trip to the Panama Canal and a China briefing with Elon Musk, who was ultimately personally canceled by President Trump himself.

Former Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot released an op-ET in politico who claimed that the first month of Hegseth's leadership was “a month of the entire chaos” and warned that his days counted in the Pentagon.

Hegseth rejected Ullyot's op-ET and pointed out unprofessional behavior.

“Anyone who knows John knows why we let him go. We made a lot of favors for John. He did a good job in advance, then he was pulled along,” he said to Fox News.

Hegseth admitted that the examination was disturbing because she pointed out long -standing consultants, but again used to stand up to stop the leaks.

“It led to unhappy places, people that I have known for some time. But it is not my job to protect it. It is my job to protect the national security, the president of the United States and to let the examination to where it is,” he said.

He swore to stay in his work as long as he continued to support the president.

“I have not broken and will not flash because this job is too big and too important for the American people and I was grateful for every opportunity the president gave me,” he said.

The leak examination in the Pentagon began on March 21st, as Hegseth's chief of staff Kasper ordered the probe.

The probe included military operating plans for the Panama Canal, a second aircraft that went to the Red Sea, the break of the intelligence collection to Ukraine, and the leak that Elon Musk Hegseth would meet for the US war plans for China, an official told Politico.

Kasper said the probe “recently not authorized disclosure of national security information” would examine and said polygraphs were used.

“The use of polygraphs in the execution of this examination is carried out in accordance with applicable law and guidelines,” he wrote. “This investigation will begin immediately and culminate in a report to the Defense Minister.”

He found that “information that a party is responsible for an unauthorized disclosure” would be transferred to criminal prosecution “.

One day after the New York Times looked at the probe that Pentagon with Elon Musk had set up a briefing with Elon Musk in a potential war with China.

Caldwell played a crucial role as a consultant from Hegseth.

He was the employee, who was called Hegseth's point person in the Signal Messaging Chat and the national security officers of the Trump administration, including the Minister of Defense, conveyed the plans for a military strike against Houthi militant in Yemen.

The chat, set up by Michael Waltz, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, contained a number of cabinet members and came to light because Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of the Atlantic, was accidentally included in the group.

Caldwell and Hegseth have a long -term friendship and go back to Hegseth's time as head of the affected veterans for America, a non -profit organization. From 2013, Caldwell worked at CVA as Policy Director and later as an executive director.

In addition, Caldwell was on Hegseth's side on the Capitol Hill when the former Fox News moderator fought to keep his nomination alive when asked about his treatment of women.

Selnick also fulfilled the duties of the Lower Defense Minister for Personnel and willingness. It served in the White House and in the Department of Veteran Affairs in the first Trump administration.

And he also has connections to affected veterans for America, where he acted as a senior consultant.

All three suspended helpers are narrow in old age and share the same isolationist perspective of foreign policy. This view is also shared by Vice President JD Vance and Don Trump Jr., the eldest son of the President.
