Pete Hegseth vows to stay as Pentagon chief despite impeachment threat

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth intends to remain in his post until the end of Donald Trump's presidential term despite the threat of impeachment, according to The Wall Street Journal. A vote on Hegseth's impeachment is expected next week, and the minister is ready to actively defend his policies if removal is attempted. "He is not going anywhere. He intends to stay in office for all four years," said Hegseth's adviser Tim Parlatore. Trump continues to support the Pentagon chief, though some Republicans express doubts about his actions amid the prolonged conflict with Iran. The president previously stated he has no plans to dismiss Hegseth, believing he performs his duties successfully.
