Summary

This week, the U.S. and U.K. launched significant airstrikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen. The airstrikes were carried out by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin while hospitalized at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. The Defense Secretary is under scrutiny due to the lack of transparency about his health concerns, prompting many to question the country's military readiness. FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich discusses Secretary Austin's future and provides updates amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East. On Wednesday, Hunter Biden shocked Representatives when he appeared at a House Oversight Committee hearing, defying a subpoena for a closed-door testimony. Meanwhile, the House Homeland Security Committee held an impeachment hearing for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in which they criticized his performance in handling the crisis at the U.S. Southern border. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares a firsthand look at the drama that unfolded at the Capitol this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
