Spouses of Trump administration Cabinet members say they lean on one another as they navigate life in Washington, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their friendships on the latest episode of Fox News' "the Girls" podcast.On Thursday's episode, actress Cheryl Hines, wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.Kennedy Jr., and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, wife of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, discussed how Cabinet spouses lean on one another through occasional lunches, girls' nights out and reunions at crowded White House events."We actually get together like once a month or, you know, we have a club that we're part of.
It's like an international club and most of us are in it," Campos-Duffy said."We see each other then, and then sometimes we'll go to lunch or next week I think we're just doing a girls' night out after."'THE GIRLS' PODCAST DEBUTS AS CO-HOSTS TAKE ON LINDSAY CLANCY CASE, MS RACHEL'S POLITICAL ACTIVISMActress Cheryl Hines, left, and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, right, appear on the set of "the Girls" podcast at Fox News Channel Studios on Oct.

How's it going?’ It's nice to have a pal," Hines said.Campos-Duffy added that while the spouses often see one another at events, they find it difficult to have meaningful conversations in a crowded room, so they make time to get together outside official functions."We do find that time, which is actually really great," Campos-Duffy said.DUFFYS FIRE BACK AFTER PETE BUTTIGIEG, HUSBAND ATTACK NEW ROAD TRIP T...
