Congress is considering a provision that would limit Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget unless he turns over unedited video of U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean, including a controversial Sept. 2 operation that killed all 11 people on board a suspected drug-running vessel.

A revised version of the annual defense policy bill released Sunday would restrict Hegseth's fiscal 2026 travel funds to "not more than 75%" until the videos are provided to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, as NBC News reports.
