Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Dan “Razin” Caine will testify Thursday morning before the House Armed Services Committee on the Pentagon’s fiscal 2026 budget request.
The hearing comes a day after the duo faced tense questioning from the Senate. Hegseth took heat from both sides of the aisle on the Russia-Ukraine war, deployment of Marines to Los Angeles amid immigration protests and President Trump’s other defense priorities.
The Trump administration also signaled Wednesday the U.S. would scale back the number of personnel in the Middle East, even as tensions rise between Israel and Iran.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
