Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine are testifying before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, in what is likely to be the most tense hearing of the bunch.
Hegseth is set to spar with lawmakers over Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to quell riots that rocked the city beginning on Friday.
The duo is also expected to answer questions regarding Trump’s $1 trillion budget request for 2026.
Scott Bessent
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee.
He is set to announce a positive development before the committee — Internal Revenue Service layoffs didn’t correspond into an expected decline in tax revenue, with the U.S. taking in more tax revenue in April and May than the corresponding period the year before, Axios reported.
The development will give Congress more time to decide on a budget before the government runs out of money.
Doug Burgum
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is testifying before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, going over Trump’s budget proposal.
Burgum has had one of the least controversial tenures in Trump’s cabinet, with his testimony likely to be less fraught than the others.
Brooke Rollins
Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins is testifying before the House Agriculture Committee.
Rollins will field questions on controversial reforms to aid programs, including one that drew a lawsuit from Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA).
John Phelan
Navy Secretary John Phelan is testifying before the House Armed Services Committee.
In addition to questions about Trump’s budget request, he is likely to be grilled by Democrats regarding Trump’s deployment of Marines to quell riots in Los Angeles.
Bryan Bedford
Trump’s pick for Federal Aviation Administration head, Bryan Bedford, is facing a tough confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
He will need to assure senators that he can effectively lead the agency out of its recent crises of jeopardized airline safety and air traffic controller shortages.
