US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday called moves to impeach him over alleged abuse of power in the Iran war "a political spectacle" that would fail.
Hegseth commented at a news conference a day after US Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, introduced eight articles of impeachment against him.
"What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability," Hegseth said. "It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment, timed 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 is a stunt, and everybody knows it."
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump showed support for Hegseth Monday, saying he'll "stand by" Hegseth if he's impeached.
