House passes defense bill, forcing Pentagon's hand on boat strike videos

The House passed an annual defense policy bill on Wednesday that takes surprising aim at the Pentagon's boat strike campaign in Latin America and the Trump administration's dismissal of longstanding U.S. military commitments.

The National Defense Authorization Act heads to the Senate, which will likely send the measure to President Donald Trump, who supports the bill.

The agreement would withhold a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget until the Pentagon provides Congress with unedited videos of airstrikes against alleged drug smuggling boats. It also goes after Trump's push away from European allies and demands a rationale when the Defense Department fires officials.
