The midterms are over, but the political battles surrounding the Pentagon may just be beginning. On this episode of The Break Out, Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Pentagon reporter Ashley Roque examine the renewed push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the possibility of a Senate trial and investigations Democrats are preparing as they take control of Congress.
But the outgoing Republican majority has some major unfinished business. A looming government funding deadline, uncertainty surrounding the defense reconciliation package and an unfinished defense authorization bill could complicate the Pentagon’s ambitious spending plans. Mehta and Roque discuss what lawmakers might accomplish before January, and what could be left for the next Congress.
