Pete Hegseth Faces House Impeachment Push Next Week
Thomas Massie plans to force a vote when Congress returns, even as Donald Trump still backs Hegseth.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces a House impeachment push that could come up for a vote as soon as next week. CNN reported that some Republicans считают Hegseth played a major role in persuading President Donald Trump to strike Iran without an exit strategy or a plan to handle the political fallout. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie told CNN he intends to launch an impeachment vote when Congress returns. Hegseth rejected the move, calling the impeachment article against him false and saying he expects the effort to fail. Under the pressure, Trump said Wednesday he was not considering replacing Hegseth and praised his performance instead. The push has intensified after Republicans lost in the U.S. midterm elections.
