Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth responded sharply to Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin's tweet regarding the nearly $140,000 renovations to his government housing. Griffin shared a letter from Democratic House Appropriations Committee members questioning the necessity of these expenditures. Hegseth dismissed the claims in a quote-tweet, labeling Griffin's reporting as 'Fake News', asserting the repairs would have occurred regardless of occupancy and were initiated by the Department of Defense. The confrontation highlights ongoing tensions in media reporting surrounding government spending and partisan perspectives.
Fake News of the Day (not surprising from Democrats & @JenGriffinFNC; same thing), he replied. Any/all house repairs were going to happen no matter who was moving in and were all initiated by DoD.
Griffin tweeted a letter from Democratic members of the House Appropriations Committee to Hegseth inquiring about renovations to the secretary's government residence.
