Senators look to jam Hegseth’s travel budget over boat strikes, Iran girls school bombing
The measure would cap spending at 75% until the Pentagon provides video and answers on a school bombing and boat strikes.
- The Senate Armed Services Committee included a provision in its defense policy bill that would restrict Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget unless the Pentagon provides lawmakers with unredacted information related to military actions, including boat strikes and operations involving Iran.
- Lawmakers from both parties are seeking greater transparency regarding U.S. military operations, including reported civilian casualties from Iran-related strikes and the release of additional records tied to previous boat strike incidents.
- The proposed measure would allow only part of Hegseth’s travel funds to be used until Congress receives requested documents and evidence connected to investigations into military strikes and related Pentagon decisions.
