President Donald Trump's nominee for Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Jules Hurst, faced sharp questioning during his Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing. Senator Angus King challenged Hurst over the financial cost of the Iran conflict, saying he remained "unpersuaded" by the nominee's responses and professions of ignorance. The exchange became one of the key moments of the hearing as lawmakers examined Pentagon spending, defense budgeting and oversight. Hurst appeared before the committee alongside other Defense Department nominees as the Senate continued reviewing key national security appointments. #JulesHurst #AngusKing #Pentagon #IranWar #USSenate #ConfirmationHearing #Defense #BreakingNews #Trump #Politics Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
