Axios: The possibility that the Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote to impeach Gast/some members of the Trump administration are trying to impeach the Secretary of War.
Axios wrote: The Republican leaders of the US House of Representatives are preparing for the possibility that enough members of their party will break away from the party's official position and vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Guest during this week's vote.
Republicans, who suffered setbacks in their party's heavy defeat in the last election, now have nothing to lose and may be more inclined to support Hogst's impeachment.
Don Bacon, a retired Republican representative from Nebraska, told Fox News that Hoggest doesn't have many fans in Congress. Bacon also told Axios that he had not yet decided on the vote this week.
Thomas Massey, a Republican representative from Kentucky, plans to initiate a vote on Guest's impeachment resolution. He accused Hoggest of disobeying Congress and illegally continuing the US war against Iran.
Blaming each other among House Republicans increased and the Iran war became one of the main targets of their criticism and anger. "Iran, Iran, Iran, we should never have gone to war before the midterm elections," one Republican representative told Axios.
The guest was considered the main face of the war for many members of Congress, and the issue put him in the crosshairs of angry and disaffected Republicans. Another Republican representative told Axius that Hoggest's tone and rhetoric did "great damage" to our ability to present to the American people the facts about the necessity of attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and continued military action.
Axios reporters Mark Caputo and Alex Eisenstadt also reported that Guest's position in the Trump administration has been undermined and some administration officials are trying to oust him.
If Guest remains in office until January, the new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives will have the authority to continue investigations and impeachment proceedings against him.
