US under Trump: Hegseth rejects report of dwindling defense arsenal

The article reports on several developments related to U.S. President Donald Trump. It begins by discussing U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's rejection of a report claiming that nearly 80% of the missile defense rockets for a critical system used in the Iran conflict have been depleted. Hegseth accused CNN of spreading fake news and posted images of the report on his social media platform. The report cited confidential sources warning that Pentagon munition stocks were dangerously low. It then mentions a man armed with a gun was arrested at Trump's golf course in California, allegedly attempting to observe security planning activities. Finally, it notes that Senator Todd Blanche has passed the first hurdle in his confirmation as Attorney General after two Republican senators initially blocked him over controversial plans for a compensation fund, which he later withdrew.
