The Coast Guard commandant says he would press to get funding back for a new icebreaker.

Rep. Adam Smith plans to go head-to-head with Republicans and the White House on a number of defense issues.

President Donald Trump made the claim Tuesday as he faces a budget impasse with Congress.

"The waste would be absolutely stunning," Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer said.

With the military funded into late 2019, the Defense Department might have to fill in the gaps for agencies that aren't.

The president said in a tweet that the U.S. has spent $716 billion this year, an amount he called "Crazy!"

Lawmakers on Tuesday pressed U.S. Navy officials to explain what the service is doing to fix its shortage of attack subs.

The total would grow beyond the current estimate of $210 million if the active-duty mission is extended, officials said.

"The added cost is a handful of F-35s," think tank analyst Todd Harrison said.

SecDef Jim Mattis said the audit identified "multiple material weaknesses" but few savings opportunities.
