Hegseth dismisses impeachment threat as a farce

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held his first press conference in six months, dismissing an impeachment resolution filed by a Republican congressman as a "farce" and "sabotage." The resolution, introduced by Representative Thomas Massie, concerns Hegseth's involvement in the war against Iran and other military operations. A House vote on the impeachment could occur as early as this week, with Hegseth defending his actions and calling Massie a "disgruntled congressman." Hegseth stated he stands behind every operation and argued that political disagreements should be resolved through legislation and elections, not impeachment. Former President Donald Trump has publicly supported Hegseth, saying he "should be praised, not impeached."
