Hegseth Confident US Lawmakers Can't Force His Resignation

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed confidence that US lawmakers will not succeed in forcing his resignation, following the introduction of impeachment articles against him. Hegseth, in a video message posted on X on November 5, compared the move to previous impeachment attempts against President Donald Trump, calling it a "policy of personal destruction" by his political opponents. He stated it did not work against Trump and will not work against him. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has signaled readiness to introduce a resolution for Hegseth's impeachment, with many Democrats and some Republicans expressing dissatisfaction over his handling of the US-Iran conflict. Trump has repeatedly said he will not dismiss Hegseth, though CBS News reported the president has discussed his possible resignation with aides.
