Live updates: Hegseth faces House questioning, Trump heads to Fort Bragg amid LA protests

President Trump heads to Fort Bragg on Tuesday, a day after deploying hundreds of Marines and calling up 2,000 more National Guard members to Los Angeles, where protests have roiled parts of the city for days but were more muted Monday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be in North Carolina with him, but only after testifying in a House budget hearing along with Gen. Dan Caine, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the state's attorney general, Rob Bonta (D), have sued Trump over his unilateral National Guard deployment.

Back in Washington, the House returns to start parsing the rescissions package sent last week by the White House, which would make DOGE cuts permanent.

Congress has a slate of budget testimony scheduled, with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner testifying in the House, along with Hegseth. National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya will testify in the Senate.
