Pentagon officials have ramped up their efforts in recent weeks to help Congress carve a path toward President Trump’s record $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request. But some GOP senators are worried the Defense Department deployed its closed-door offensive too late, undercutting its prospects of building a coalition necessary to move the record-breaking defense budget.
