Finance Minister N Sitharaman interacts with stake holders post-budget 2023 in Mumbai

GOP's Mike Turner sharply confronted Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby during a heated House Armed Services Committee hearing. Turner accused Colby of giving “disingenuous” answers and expressed frustration over what he called evasive testimony about key defense decisions, particularly the controversial pause in weapons shipments to Ukraine. The exchange escalated when Turner told Colby that listening to his responses was “really kind of gross,” questioning whether Pentagon officials were making decisions independently rather than directly under orders from Donald Trump. Colby pushed back, insisting he was being truthful and describing himself as a “loyal lieutenant” aligned with the president. Watch the fiery confrontation here.
