Trump says Hegseth should be praised, not impeached
Trump said Hegseth should be praised, not impeached, after Rep. Thomas Massie filed articles accusing the defense secretary of illegal conduct.
- Trump held a surprise White House briefing on Tuesday with UFC CEO Dana White, where he defended Defense Secretary Hegseth against impeachment articles introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie on the House floor.
- Following Massie's introduction of impeachment articles, Hegseth said he was "not worried" about the proceedings. Massie, who lost his primary seat this year, has long feuded with the Trump administration.
- When Collins countered that Massie claimed Hegseth carried out "illegal acts," Trump descended into name-calling, calling her a "loser" at CNN. Monday's insult marked at least the fourth personal attack Trump has aimed at Collins this year.
- Jake Tapper defended his colleague on social media, stating there is "one person in this exchange whose behavior, hand-picked candidates, and policies were repudiated handily by voters." Tapper's support came after Trump's September attacks on Collins.
- This clash occurs amid a broader legal battle between the White House and media outlets including CNN and Politico after the administration attempted to bar them from the White House in September. The legal fight continues to block CNN from pool coverage.
