Hegseth to hold rare press conference as impeachment resolution advances in Congress

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a rare press conference for Tuesday as an expected impeachment resolution gains momentum in Congress over his handling of the Iran war. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has pushed the resolution forward despite House GOP leadership opposition, with many Republicans blaming the conflict for the party's midterm election losses. Hegseth defended the war as a "bold move" by President Trump, citing the need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The AP Voter Poll of over 100,000 voters found about 6 in 10 said the U.S. made the "wrong decision" in taking military action against Iran, though the war was not the top issue for most voters.
