Bloomberg: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Heggest is facing growing bipartisan pressure to leave his post after next month's midterm elections, as Democrats and some Republicans prepare to pursue his ouster if President Trump does not. The focus of criticism is the manner in which the guest managed the war with Iran, the dismissal of senior military officials, the restrictions on congressional oversight and the management of sensitive military information. Representative Thomas Massey, a Republican, has already introduced impeachment motions, while House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has vowed to seek to impeach Hoggest if his party regains control of the House. The outcome of the midterm elections could determine how far that effort will go; Lawmakers are considering impeachment proceedings and a broader investigation into the Pentagon's performance in the war with Iran. Trump continued to publicly defend Hoggest.
