He urged Congress to fund troops as debates shift toward the nearly 100 billion request, with Democrats aiming to pressure funding cuts and Republicans insisting on continued support. The scene unfolds ahead of a potential Senate vote and a broader effort to end U.S. participation in the four year conflict.

In the CIA leak case, Judge Walton refused Libby’s bid to admit classified summaries without Libby testifying. The ruling limits the defense’s argument that Libby’s heavy workload impaired recall while signaling closing arguments to proceed with no additional witnesses.
