Trump backs Hegseth as Massie plans impeachment push

abcnews.com —

President Donald Trump said Thursday he intends to keep Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his job, as GOP Rep. Thomas Massie prepares to reintroduce an impeachment resolution against him. Trump stated, "I have every intention to keep him," while acknowledging receiving calls from people unhappy with Hegseth. Massie plans to introduce the resolution Monday or Tuesday, believing enough Republican defectors will support it. Massie's September impeachment effort stalled when Speaker Mike Johnson canceled floor votes. Trump called Massie "a very bad guy" and predicted Hegseth would be popular in Tennessee, where he may seek a Senate seat.
