Defiant Hegseth calls impeachment effort a stunt | CNN Politics

In a press conference Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called GOP Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment push against him “a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment.” Hegseth insisted that he had been carrying out “lawful military operations” that were “successful,” and that no previous defense secretaries had ever been impeached for doing so.
