Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is pushing for the wife of Fox News host Pete Hegseth to divest from defense company stocks to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer Rauchet, has a position with a defense firm that has received government contracts.
ETHICAL CONCERNS
• Warren has raised the issue with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE).
• She suggests that Rauchet’s ownership of defense stocks, combined with her husband’s role as a Fox News host, could create conflicts of interest.
PREVIOUS CONCERNS
