Trump's Big Move: Pete Hegseth's Wife Gets Key White House Role In New US Military Spouse Commission

US President Donald Trump has announced the creation of the Presidential Military Spouse Commission, appointing Jennifer Hegseth, wife of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to lead the initiative. The commission will develop recommendations to improve the lives of military families by addressing challenges related to housing, employment, healthcare, education and childcare. Trump said the panel will focus on supporting service members and their spouses across multiple areas. Similar advocacy efforts have existed under previous administrations, with spouses of former defense secretaries also playing active roles in military family support and advisory organizations.
