Trump says Hegseth doing 'a very good job' as questions swirl about his future
Trump said Hegseth is doing a very good job and will stay, even as Republicans and Democrats press impeachment and oversight efforts.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump rejected reports that he planned to remove Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, telling reporters the Pentagon chief is "doing a very good job."
- Trump's comments followed a CBS News report suggesting he sought advice on Hegseth's future after Democrats secured majorities in Congress during Tuesday's midterm elections.
- Trump raised the possibility of Hegseth seeking the Tennessee Senate seat vacated by Republican Marsha Blackburn, who won Tuesday's gubernatorial race, saying he would be "very popular" if he ran.
- House Democrats are considering impeachment proceedings against Hegseth, while some White House aides raised the possibility of scrutiny involving military officials regarding guidance during the Iran war.
- Speculation about Pentagon leadership changes includes Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement, while Hegseth has reportedly expressed interest in the Tennessee Senate vacancy and conducted an informal campaign.
