Hegseth Faces House Impeachment Threat as Trump Weighs Pentagon Chief's Future

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a defiant video Thursday vowing to fight what he called 'sham' articles of impeachment and comparing his plight to President Trump's past impeachments, after Republican Representative Thomas Massie said he will force a House vote on impeaching him over his conduct of the unauthorized war on Iran and other actions. Many Republicans blame Hegseth's handling of the Iran war for the party's midterm collapse, and reports indicate Trump has been asking allies whether Hegseth should stay, even as Trump publicly defended him.
