At a hearing Thursday, leading House appropriators from both parties condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent firing of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee, including GOP Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia, had delivered a similar message about George at a hearing the previous day.
Hegseth fired George on April 2 without explanation, even though the general still had more than a year to go on a standard tenure for an Army chief.
