The mom-of-four, 27, warned her husband about revealing too much information while behind bars in a March 23 call recording obtained by a news outlet.

Kendra Duggar and Joseph Duggar tied the knot in September 2017.
"I don't know what's happening, but what I will say is just don't trust anyone. If there's anything I've learned from this, do not trust anyone, that's all I can say," Kendra told her husband during the phone call.
Kendra and Joseph, 31, are currently together in their home state of Arkansas as they await an April 29 court hearing after each being charged with four counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment.
Joseph Duggar Initially Denied Contacting Anyone But Kendra
Kendra Duggar urged her husband, Joseph Duggar, to 'trust' no one while behind bars.
"Just stay focused, We got a lot of moving parts right now, lean in to the people you can, and then, you know, don't, don't go outside that circle," she said, reportedly only listing the Duggar family and attorney, Travis Story — who is representing only Kendra in the Arkansas case — as members of their inner circle. "Because I've heard about another call you made."
The TLC alum reportedly initially denied contacting anyone but her, but confessed to calling "Greg the other morning."
Although it's unclear who Greg is, Kendra emphasized, "Do not talk to Greg whatever you do. Do not."
"Even if someone is nice," she pointed out to Joseph, noting she was "boarding up the hatches."
