Pete Hegseth Lashes Out
A Republican lawmaker moved on Monday to impeach US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran, setting the stage for a potentially explosive vote in Congress, days after President Donald Trump's party suffered a crushing defeat in the midterms.
- UPDATED: Pete Hegseth held a rare press conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday to address a looming impeachment threat and to lavish praise on the person whose support he needs the most, President Donald Trump.
- The big picture: As the possible first impeachment of a Cabinet secretary during the second Trump era and a Democratic-led Congress loom, Hegseth isn't going down without a war of words.
- They impeached him again in his final week in office," Hegseth said, referencing Trump's first impeachment over a phone call where he pressed Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his second over the Jan.
US Republican Thomas Massie moved Monday, November 9, to force a vote to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, pressing his fellow Republicans to remove one of the Trump administration's most prominent figures following sweeping election losses blamed in part on fallout from the war in Iran.
- If Hegseth had been accurate in his account of what happens in professional military education, I might have walked out on my first day teaching at the Naval War College and become a local lobsterman.
- Unlike Hegseth and his coterie, I’ve been through accreditations at the Naval War College; mostly, accreditors ask about funding and internal governance, and how the schools deal with having new administrators sent to them every few years.
- Thomas Massie, who has clashed with President Donald Trump, kicked off the Hegseth impeachment fight days after a blue-wave midterm election.
- Thomas Massie 's (R-KY) push to oust him, likening the impeachment effort to Democrats' successful impeachments of President Trump.
- I live just up the road from the Naval War College, where I taught for 25 years, and where Hegseth gave a speech this morning about the future of military education.
