YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUS News: Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin sharply challenged Pentagon nominee during a tense confirmation hearing, pressing him on national security issues and transparency. The Democratic lawmakers pushed back after the nominee declined to provide direct answers, arguing that the questions being asked did not involve classified material.
Kelly, a former Navy combat pilot and astronaut, zeroed in on defense readiness and strategic policy, while Slotkin — a former CIA officer and Pentagon official — questioned Ditlevson’s judgment and willingness to be forthcoming with Congress. The exchange quickly escalated as both senators signaled concerns about accountability and oversight at the Department of Defense.
The heated moment underscores growing scrutiny surrounding the nomination and broader debates over military leadership, intelligence disclosures, and congressional authority.
