- Hegseth boosts veteran benefits bill that key Republicans have opposed
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supports a bipartisan bill to boost veteran benefits, despite opposition from key Republicans due to cost concerns. The legislation aims to provide benefits to around 54,000 combat-injured veterans. The bill is named after a U.S. Army combat engineer who was diagnosed with cancer due to toxic burn pit exposure.
