Hegseth dismisses impeachment push as 'sham' in message to troops

independent.co.uk —

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed renewed House efforts to impeach him as a "sham" in a defiant video message to US troops, urging them to "ignore the noise." Hegseth called Republican Rep. Thomas Massie a "disgruntled, defeated congressman" and accused Democrats of "political theatre," comparing the push to Trump's impeachments. The effort follows Republicans' midterm defeat, with articles potentially brought as early as next week. President Trump told ABC News he has "every intention" of keeping Hegseth, though rumors of a possible resignation remain unconfirmed.
