US House moves to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth; Trump backs him

agi.it (Italian) —

Republican Representative Thomas Massie filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with a House vote required by Wednesday. President Trump vowed support, calling Massie a "loser." Hegseth dismissed the impeachment effort, saying critics of Pentagon operations are criticizing the military. CNN reports many Republicans expect the procedure to pass, with a possible House vote this week. Hegseth declined to comment on Vice President Vance's claim that the Iran war caused Republican midterm losses, but agreed with Trump that he would repeat the war.
