Trump Backs Hegseth, Calls Massie a 'Failure' Over Impeachment Bid

newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

President Donald Trump defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, calling him a winner of "two wars" and attacking Republican Representative Thomas Massie as a "failure" amid impeachment efforts. Trump vowed full support for Hegseth even if impeached. Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of unauthorized military operations against Iran and abuse of power. Trump cited operations in Venezuela and Iran as victories, though the Iran conflict remains unresolved. The House may vote on impeachment this week amid pressure following Republican midterm losses. Even if approved, Hegseth's removal would require a two-thirds Senate majority.
