Original: GOP senators blame Hegseth
Republican senators are publicly assigning blame to Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News host serving as Defense Secretary, as a controversy around the Pentagon escalates. Frustration inside the President's own party has spilled into the open, with lawmakers criticizing his leadership and judgment.
