Trump backs Hegseth as Massie readies impeachment push

abc7news.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 critics of Hegseth. Massie plans to introduce the resolution Monday or Tuesday, believing enough Republican defectors will support it. Trump called Massie a "very bad guy" in response. Massie's 34-page resolution with eight articles of impeachment stalled earlier this year when Speaker Mike Johnson canceled floor votes. Trump also predicted Hegseth would be popular in Tennessee, amid speculation he may seek a Senate seat there.
