JD Vance Defends Hegseth, Says He Hasn't Committed Impeachable Crimes
Vance said lawmakers are using impeachment as a substitute for policymaking as Massie pushes eight articles tied to war powers and Iran policy.
- The House votes today on the Hegseth Impeachment Resolution, a measure filed by Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie focusing on the Iran war and containing eight articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- Vice President JD Vance defended Hegseth, dismissing the impeachment effort as a "ridiculous show" and arguing lawmakers are repeating tactics used against Donald Trump rather than using legislative tools to register policy disagreements.
- During a press conference, Hegseth called the impeachment effort a "show trial," arguing policy disagreements should be resolved through legislation and elections, not on the House and Senate floor where Democrats control the narrative.
- Legislators are primarily angry at Hegseth for repositioning forces away from Europe and Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps, moves Vance characterized as "most correct" despite the Pentagon bureaucracy challenges.
- Massie wrote that today's first vote targets a procedural motion to "refer to committee"; if that effort fails, the chamber will proceed to debate and vote on the eight Articles of Impeachment.
