CBS reports Pete Hegseth is tentatively slated to give his first public testimony on the Iran war before the House Armed Services Committee on April 29, though the date could shift. Lawmakers from both parties—after a classified briefing that members said left them with “more questions than answers”—accuse the Pentagon of being “very constrained” and “tight‑lipped” about strategy and troop movements for roughly 50,000 U.S. forces, and Democrats have formally demanded an immediate public hearing amid concerns about shifting objectives, a potential $200 billion supplemental, possible ground‑force use and related economic fallout; Speaker Mike Johnson says he is being “constantly briefed” and will ensure committee access.
