Sec. Hegseth issues defiant statement amid calls for impeachment
Hegseth said impeachment efforts will not work as Democrats prepare oversight and Thomas Massie moves to revive articles of impeachment.
- On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released a defiant 5-minute video defending his military policies, vowing "not to back down" against impeachment threats following Republican midterm losses.
- Midterm election results handed Democrats control of Congress, prompting calls for Hegseth's ouster after President Donald Trump conceded voters rejected the war in Iran largely orchestrated by Hegseth.
- Defending his military policies, Hegseth demanded at least $350 billion in reconciliation funding, insisting his "historic and courageous effort" in Iran will ensure the regime never acquires nuclear weapons.
- Despite calls for ouster, President Trump publicly backed Hegseth, though reports allege Trump is contemplating appointing him to Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn's Senate seat to bypass confirmation struggles.
- Rep. Thomas Massie plans to force an impeachment vote in the House, while incoming Democrats prepare for future trials, creating a high-stakes legislative standoff as the session concludes.
