Update: Massie says he will 'definitely' force Hegseth impeachment vote next week; Trump still backs him
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told Bloomberg he will 'definitely' reintroduce articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth when the House returns next week, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Friday in a Bloomberg-based dispatch; Massie has said he will not pursue the privileged resolution if Hegseth resigns first. Fox News reported Thursday that several House Republicans believe an impeachment resolution could pass as early as next week, while Hegseth posted a defiant video calling the effort 'sham articles' from a 'disgruntled, defeated congressman.' Trump told reporters Hegseth has done a 'fantastic job,' Fox and NBC News reported, and White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis criticized 'sham investigations.'
