Hegseth plays down impeachment risks, says ready to defend his record
Hegseth said he will fight impeachment articles and defend the Iran and Venezuela policy choices, while Republican blame grows after midterm losses.
- On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he will hold a news conference tomorrow, his first in over 180 days, to address a looming impeachment threat from Republican Representative Thomas Massie.
- Defying House GOP leadership, Massie is forcing a vote on impeachment articles against Hegseth as many Republicans blame the Secretary for the Iran war's role in the midterm election wipeout.
- According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran holds 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, while 6 in 10 voters said the United States made the wrong decision regarding Iran.
- Dismissing the impeachment push as noise, Hegseth insisted he is ready to defend his record in Iran and Venezuela, arguing the actions were necessary to confront the regime.
- Despite Hegseth's claims that Iran is devastated, the Islamic Republic continues striking U.S. military bases and commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, causing billions of dollars in damage.
