Pete Hegseth Under Fire From Dems Over Alleged $49,000 ‘Emergency’ Paint Job For Government Home
"Topline Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Friday, scrutinizing him over costly maintenance and “emergency” painting of his government-owned home.
Key Facts
The letter, written by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said the Army told the Appropriations Committee about plans to “exceed the $35,000 threshold for operation, maintenance and repair” of a government home that will be occupied by Hegseth, who also owns a house in Tennessee.
The Democrats said the total requirement for the housing work was $137,297, with $49,900 of the figure needed for an “emergency” paint job."
