Hegseth calls impeachment push a 'political spectacle' after GOP lawmaker's move

Hegseth argued the resolution punishes military leaders for lawful operations, while Massie's move forces a House vote within two legislative days amid GOP midterm losses. President Donald Trump defended Hegseth, saying he "won the war in Iran," as the impeachment push follows Republican attributions of election defeats to that conflict.
