As Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, looks to force a vote this week on impeaching Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon chief addressed the move as something he's "not worried about."
Hegseth also went on to praise President Donald Trump's Iran war as "the right step" despite recent midterm results reflecting voters feeling that it is increasingly unpopular. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have attributed to the conflict with Iran and the ensuing rise in gas prices. Some Republicans have urged the White House to fire Hegseth and install a new leader at the helm of the Pentagon before Democrats reclaim control of Congress in January and likely grind most confirmations to a halt.
