Pete Hegseth to hold news briefing as he faces possible impeachment
According to the Guardian, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to hold a news conference to push back against congressional efforts to remove him from office over alleged misconduct. The pressure follows comments by Donald Trump and JD Vance, who blamed the Iran war for the Republican Party's sweeping midterm election losses. Republican Representative Thomas Massie has introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of violating the War Powers Resolution. Massie alleges that Hegseth used troops to seize oil for large corporations. Meanwhile, Trump defended Hegseth during a press conference, calling Massie 'sick' and a 'loser.' Trump also stated that the war in Iran is 'effectively over.'
