4:59Now PlayingBetty McCollum sharply questioned Pete Hegseth during a tense House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing, accusing the Pentagon of withholding critical information on the rising costs of the Iran conflict, delays in Ukraine funding briefings, and the long-term financial impact of the Trump administration’s massive defense expansion plans. McCollum warned that Operation Epic Fury and the growing U.S. military deployment in CENTCOM could strain military readiness, increase fuel and operational costs, and trigger further budget turmoil if Congress is asked to approve emergency supplemental funding. The hearing also focused on the proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget, the $185 billion Golden Dome missile shield project, reconciliation funding disputes, and concerns over transparency inside the Pentagon as lawmakers pressed the administration for answers on war spending, national debt, and U.S. strategic priorities in the Middle East.
