The US Congress has rejected the impeachment of the head of the Pentagon.
The United States House of Representatives rejected a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his misconduct in office and actions during the war against Iran. The opponents of the head of the Pentagon have a high chance of succeeding in repeating their experiment in the new calendar year, when the composition of the Congress will be radically updated in favor of the Democratic Party following the results of the last midterm elections, the AP emphasizes.
The leader of the Democratic minority in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, confirmed his willingness to ask for Hesseth's resignation. Jeffries is expected to become Speaker of the new House in January 2027, when his party wins a majority there. "Hegseth abused his power. He undermined our national security. "He is the architect of this senseless and expensive war in Iran," the Democrat said.
