Trump defends Hegseth as Rep. Massie pushes to impeach the war secretary
President Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday that War Secretary Pete Hegseth "should be praised, not Impeached," calling outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., "a total loser," Fox News reported. Massie, who lost his primary this year, said his effort is "a much gentler version" of what Democrats will do when they take control of Congress next year; the House could take up his resolution as early as Tuesday. Hegseth thanked the president and said there will be a Pentagon press conference Tuesday morning.
