President Trump signed the FY2026 NDAA, which includes a provision to freeze 25% of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget until the Pentagon releases unedited video of the controversial Sept. 2 strikes in the Caribbean to Congress.

Secretary Hegseth confirmed he would allow select committees to view the Sept. 2 strike footage but refused a broader public release, even as a defense policy bill demands the video be made available to all members of Congress within 10 days of enactment.
