While defending the war and strikes on Iran, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is also defending himself.
In his first press briefing from the Pentagon since May, Hegseth launched a counteroffensive against outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie’s effort to impeach him, over his handling of the unpopular war on Iran, and other actions.
Massie is pursuing eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, arguing the defense secretary has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, and violated the U.S constitution by conducting unauthorized military operations in Iran.
"I stand behind every one of these operations. I was proud to execute them and I would do it again tomorrow," Hegseth said.
As Reggie Cecchini reports, Trump has backed Hegseth, calling the Republican lawmaker "a total loser," in a post on Truth social.
