Defense secretary dismisses impeachment push as political spectacle

kcra.com —

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dismissed impeachment articles drafted by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie as "a political spectacle," defending his actions as lawful operations ordered by the commander-in-chief. The resolution, focusing on Hegseth's role in military actions related to the Iran war and operations in Yemen and Venezuela, alleges "high crimes and misdemeanors" under his Pentagon leadership. Hegseth framed the effort as an attack on troops ahead of Veterans Day, while the House could vote on the resolution as soon as this week.
