Defense Secretary James Mattis joined White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders for a briefing from the White House. He remarked on a budget deal announced in the Senate that would lift spending caps put in place by the 2011 Budget Control Act and end the sequestration of funds which he said hampered the military’s ability to train, equip, and maintain readiness for future threats. He also said the Pentagon was putting together proposals to present to President Trump for a military parade to highlight and honor members of the armed forces. After Secretary Mattis spoke, Sarah Sanders answered questions about the Senate budget deal and the likelihood it would get the president’s approval and signature. She also made brief remarks about the impending departure of White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter amid allegations of abuse. She read a statement from Mr. Porter in which he called those allegations “outrageous” and “false.” close
