US Senate LIVE: Hegseth Snaps, Turns Off Mic During Heated Testimony Clash | Senate Hearing LIVE
A fiery eruption shook the Senate chamber as US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, seething with frustration, stunned lawmakers by abruptly cutting off his microphone mid-hearing on June 18, 2025. The dramatic moment came amid a storm of sharp exchanges and soaring tempers, halting the tense proceedings in their tracks. As committee members pressed harder, Hegseth pushed back with escalating defiance, igniting a clash that laid bare the deep fractures on Capitol Hill. The confrontation marked a chilling new low in Washington’s increasingly volatile political oversight battles.
