Trump backs Hegseth if impeachment vote proceeds

pravda.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump has pledged to support Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth if impeachment proceedings are initiated against him. Trump made the statement during a White House press briefing, according to CNN. Trump dismissed Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who filed articles of impeachment earlier Monday, calling him an "absolute failure" and saying Massie has "a lot of hate in his heart." The filing means a vote must occur by Wednesday. Hegseth downplayed the impeachment risk on Monday. The House may vote on impeachment over the war with Iran, with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries supporting the initiative. Trump has also said he is not considering replacing Hegseth.
