Hegseth Dismisses Impeachment Push as Political Spectacle

yle.fi (Italian) —

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday called a potential impeachment a "political spectacle" and a "farce," dismissing the effort as driven by ego and resentment. Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced eight impeachment articles on Monday, accusing Hegseth of illegal warfare without congressional authorization and abuse of power. The Republican-controlled House may vote as early as Wednesday. Hegseth warned impeachment would signal to enemies that the US punishes its own warriors. He rarely holds press conferences, with the last one occurring in May.
