Trump Defends Hegseth Against Impeachment, Credits Him for Iran and Venezuela Wins

timesnownews.com —

President Donald Trump defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against impeachment calls on Sunday, crediting him with US victories in Iran and Venezuela while criticizing Democrats for supporting the resolution. Trump claimed Hegseth was instrumental in destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities and preventing a wider threat to Israel, stating Israel would not have survived without the US military operation. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries backed impeachment, calling the Iran conflict a "reckless and costly war of choice" that has raised prices and reduced safety. The impeachment resolution is being prepared by outgoing Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a Trump critic, and has gained momentum following Democratic victories in the recent US midterm elections. Hegseth dismissed the effort as "politics of personal destruction."
