Top Pentagon policy official Elbridge Colby is set to meet with the Republican Study Committee Wednesday, according to a person granted anonymity to describe the plans.
Colby is likely to address a massive new military funding request with the sprawling group of conservative lawmakers β a day after his boss, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, testified before appropriators on the $1.5 trillion ask.
Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) is also set to attend the lunch, the person said.
