The White House’s $88 billion emergency spending request is at risk on Capitol Hill as bipartisan frustration grows that the Pentagon has not been forthcoming with details about the $67.1 billion in defense dollars in the package.

And time is running out for Congress to approve any money, with Trump administration officials warning that key Pentagon troop pay funding will start to run out by August amid the cost of the war in Iran, according to four Republicans involved in the talks, who were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive Hill negotiations.
