Hegseth defends record as Pengaton chief, slams 'sham' push for his impeachment

Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of War, has vowed to resist impeachment attempts in Congress, labeling them a "sham," and defended his handling of the Iran conflict as "courageous and historic." This comes after midterm elections saw Republicans facing voter backlash over the war. Hegseth's response indicates a defiance against political pressure, highlighting the ongoing tensions between executive actions and congressional oversight. The situation underscores the broader debate about presidential power and accountability amidst national security decisions.
