Pete Hegseth responds to allegations of misconduct. What about impeachment for the Secretary of Defense?

Today, Pentagon held its first press conference in six months, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, addressing impeachment claims by Congressman Thomas Massie. Hegseth dismissed the allegations as a political stunt, asserting they stem from misunderstandings. Massie accuses Hegseth of abusing power during the Iran conflict by issuing unlawful orders. Democratic support for the impeachment has emerged, with Hakeem Jeffries backing the initiative. Hegseth warned that the situation could harm U.S. security and international reputation, suggesting it gives adversaries a propaganda victory. While the House may have enough votes for impeachment, the Senate's support is uncertain, requiring a two-thirds majority. President Trump has expressed intentions to keep Hegseth in his position despite pressures for his dismissal. The press conference coincided with the visit of Polish Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
