🔻 Trump's renewed support for Hagest after the impeachment plan was presented.

Donald Trump once again endorsed his defense secretary, Pete Hegst; At the same time, one of the Republican representatives of the Congress introduced his impeachment plan to start a war in Iran and elsewhere without obtaining approval from the Congress.

Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House that despite the impeachment motion, he supports his defense secretary because he won "two wars" and the military loves him.

Thomas Massey, a member of parliament, said during the presentation of the impeachment motion: "By participating in hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional approval, Minister Guest violated the law and must be held accountable."

Currently, there are 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats in the House of Representatives. While a simple majority is sufficient to approve articles of impeachment in the House of Representatives, the Senate needs a two-thirds vote of the members to impeach the impeached; A quorum that is difficult to achieve in the current term of Congress.
