Hegseth vows to serve full term as Pentagon chief despite impeachment push

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth does not plan to resign early despite a likely impeachment vote, according to the Wall Street Journal. He intends to serve his full four-year term. Some Republicans considered a scenario where Senator Marsha Blackburn, who won the gubernatorial race, could pass her Senate seat to Hegseth. However, Hegseth assured allies he does not seek that position, with the Senate now set to be controlled by Democrats. The House plans to vote on impeachment next week, with some Republicans supporting it. CNN reported Hegseth exaggerated US capabilities in the conflict with Iran, as strikes did not yield expected results.
