Hegseth calls impeachment threat a 'political spectacle' as House vote looms

aftonbladet.se (Swedish) —

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed an impeachment threat as a "political spectacle" during a press conference on Tuesday, responding to a resolution filed by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie. Massie's resolution accuses Hegseth of roles in wars without declarations against Iran and Yemen, plus deadly attacks on alleged drug boats and the abduction of Venezuela's former president. Hegseth defended the Iran war as a "historic effort" enabled by President Donald Trump. A House vote on impeachment could occur this week, according to AP. Massie, a vocal Trump critic, is leaving Congress in January after losing a primary to a Trump-backed candidate.
