Pete Hegseth to Brief "Gang of Eight" on SECRET Plan Amid Trump's Threats & Congressional Pressure

U.S. Defense Chief Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine are set to present key details to the “Gang of Eight” congressional leaders amid escalating tensions with Venezuela. Sources suggest the briefing will include undisclosed agenda items, potentially affecting military operations and defense oversight. The session comes as President Trump threatens land strikes against suspected Venezuelan traffickers, sparking concerns and calls for transparency in Caribbean and Pacific operations. Lawmakers are pressing Hegseth for unedited strike footage, leveraging the NDAA clause that could cut up to a quarter of his travel budget if compliance is not met. WATCH
