The guest called the attempt to depose him in relation to the Iran war "ridiculous".
US Defense Secretary Pete Heggest says the attempt to impeach him in Congress over the Iran war is a "ridiculous" move that will fail.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massey introduced his impeachment bid to Congress yesterday, and Pete Guest talks about it at a press conference.
Mr Heggest said no US defense secretary had ever been prosecuted for "lawful military operations".
Thomas Massey's decision contains eight charges for the impeachment of Pete Guest, accusing him, among other things, of violating the War Powers Act approved in 1973 in connection with America's role in the war with Iran.
