Jenna Bush Hager is taking advantage of Hoda Kotb's Today exit to get a higher salary because 'it's a matter of principle,' a source exclusively tells Closer.

Jenna Bush Hager is taking full advantage of Hoda Kotb ‘s imminent departure from Today to finally get the equal pay and power that she deserves, sources exclusively tell Closer. A separate source told Closer earlier this month that Hoda has not been gelling well with Savannah and Jenna in recent weeks, so she’s thrilled to be moving on.
