A Republican-led Senate committee has threatened to freeze the bulk of Pete Hegseth’s travel budget unless the Pentagon hands over potentially damning information on military operations.
Under the defense policy bill filed by the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, “not more than 25 percent” of the defense secretary’s travel budget can be used until Hegseth provides Congress with “unredacted civilian harm investigations” and other relevant documents on strikes in the Middle East and Latin America.
Senators on the Armed Services Committee, led by Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, singled out the April 2025 strikes in Yemen that killed dozens and the February 2026 bombing of the Minab girls’ school in Iran that killed at least 150 students and staff.
