U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described the House of Representatives’ effort to hold him accountable and impeach him on charges of abuse of power in the war against Iran as “a farce doomed to fail,” arguing that the move targets American soldiers and their commanders for carrying out military operations he deemed “legal.”
During a press conference on Tuesday, Hegseth defended President Donald Trump’s decision regarding Iran, stating that what was done was “correct” and that its objective was to protect Americans.
On Monday, Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced an eight-point resolution calling for Hegseth’s impeachment, a move that could make him the third cabinet official in U.S. history to face impeachment proceedings.
