In a letter sent Wednesday, the Maryland Democrat and member of the House Oversight Committee said Hegseth could be "on the hook" for the full cost of the airliner, some $400 million.

The trial of a Libyan man accused of making the bomb that destroyed an American airliner over Lockerbie could be delayed until spring next year.

The next-generation airliner was billions of dollars over budget and three years late.

The documents also implicate Libyan agents in the destruction of a French airliner that crashed in the Sahara desert in 1989, killing another 170 people.

The Blackhawk that went down recently near Washington D.C. when it collided with a commercial airliner was operating in a training exercise.
