War Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Congress on Thursday to allocate at least $350 billion for defense funding. In a video shared on X, Hegseth also pushed back against Democratic efforts to impeach him, characterizing the attempts as "political theater."
Hegseth defended his proposed Pentagon overhaul, which includes eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, removing military leaders, and rebuilding recruitment efforts. He vowed to continue advancing President Donald Trump's military agenda despite opposition.
