Pentagon Chief Responds to Impeachment Attempt. Donald Trump's Comment

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has initiated impeachment proceedings against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, claiming he overstepped his authority during military operations related to Iran. Hegseth dismissed the impeachment as a political stunt, asserting that his actions were lawful and successful. The vote in the House of Representatives is scheduled for Tuesday, with Massie suggesting that support may come from some Democrats and Republicans. Despite the potential for impeachment to pass in the House, it is unlikely to succeed in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed for conviction. Trump has expressed strong support for Hegseth, giving him an 'A+++' rating for his defense against Massie's actions.
