The senior California senator holds seats both on the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee and the Senate Intelligence Committee and is respected on both sides of the aisle for her command of the facts. Why did she question Defense Secretary Jim Mattis so closely during a Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing about a proposed nuclear weapon that, at first glance, seems to be a replacement of an existing system?
