Warren Slams Hegseth Decision to Slash Pentagon Weapons Testing Office

A Pentagon plan to slash staffing at its weapons testing office threatens the safety and effectiveness of every weapons program it oversees and “will cost service members’ lives and waste taxpayer dollars,” Senator Elizabeth Warren said.

In a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent Tuesday, the Massachusetts Democrat said the office was created in response to concerns that the Army wasn’t testing weapons properly and Congress wasn’t getting the information it needed.
