War Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Congress Thursday to approve at least $350 billion in defense funding while pushing back against efforts to impeach him.
In a video posted to X, Hegseth defended his Pentagon overhaul, including eliminating DEI initiatives, removing military leaders and rebuilding recruitment.
Hegseth dismissed the impeachment push as political theater while defending his efforts to overhaul the Pentagon and advance President Donald Trump's military agenda.
...
The impeachment effort is being led by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who introduced eight articles against Hegseth in September, accusing him of violating congressional war powers during the Iran conflict and abusing his authority in other military operations.
...
Hegseth dismissed the effort as politically motivated.
"A disgruntled, defeated congressman along with all his Democrat allies, has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly," Hegseth said.
How soon will some genius Dem howl at Hegseth, "The US military will get that $350B after you resign."
