American troops have died in the Middle East, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's first concern was the negative press coverage for Donald Trump — not the families of the fallen or the safety of troops still in the field. The families of the fallen deserve more than spin. Congress has both the authority and the obligation to demand answers. We call on Congress to compel Pete Hegseth to testify before the Armed Services Committees about these deaths and his response to them. No service member should die for this country and become a footnote in a PR problem for the president. Congress must act now.
