Pentagon Chief Prepares For Congressional Scrutiny Amid Power Shift
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is preparing to face multiple investigations if there is a power shift in Congress, according to reports. His team has expressed confidence in his ability to withstand scrutiny, with Hegseth reportedly wanting to stay and fight. The development comes after Senate Republicans previously threatened to block one of the Trump administration’s nominees over the Pentagon’s refusal to grant access to documents related to the military’s targeting of alleged drug traffickers in Latin America. The situation was first reported by The Washington Post.
