Representative Escobar questioned Budget Director Vought on the potential cost of funding the 'war' during the current budget year.
President Trump's budget director, Russell Vought, defended a proposed nearly 50% increase in military spending to $1.5 trillion for the next fiscal year, accompanied by a 10% cut to domestic programs. The plan sparked sharp debate in a House committee, with Democrats criticizing the priorities and linking the defense boost to an alleged "war of choice in Iran."
