Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dismissed the impeachment push against him at a Pentagon briefing on Tuesday, calling the effort by one congressman a political spectacle driven by ego and resentment.
“What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it’s not accountability. It’s a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment. Time for one man’s final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country, and most irresponsibly the warriors who defend it. It’s a farce and it’s a stunt, and everybody knows it.”
Rep. Thomas Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he is a hard yes on the resolution.
