Original title: Hegseth faces sharp questions from Congress on deploying troops to LA and Pentagon spending
The full quote:
After persistent questioning about the cost of sending National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles, Hegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who said it would cost $134 million. Hegseth defended Trump’s decision to send the troops, saying they are needed to protect federal agents as they do their jobs.
Love it. This is what we need more of.
