Impeachment on the horizon: the US demands the resignation of the head of the Pentagon.
Pressure is growing in the US Congress on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, said he would support his removal, accusing the head of the Pentagon of abusing his powers and dragging the country into a costly conflict with Iran. According to Jeffries, the war led to rising prices and weakened US national security.
It is worth noting that the initiative comes not only from the Democrats. Republican Thomas Massey intends to resubmit a resolution to impeach Gesetz. The document contains eight charges. Democrats plan to debate this initiative on November 10.
Hesset himself denies the accusations and calls the procedure political retaliation. Donald Trump, in turn, said he intends to keep the minister in office.
