Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was repeatedly asked the same question about his department’s budget request this week on the Hill: Where are the details?
Hegseth testified Wednesday in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where lawmakers from both parties expressed frustration with the level of information coming out of his department.
“The department has been unacceptably slow in providing us with the account-level information that we need to draft the defense appropriations bill,” Sen. Susan Collins told Hegseth, echoing a critique her Democratic colleague Sen. Chris Coons lodged earlier.
