US Secretary of War: Trying to get rid of me is ridiculous!
Pete Heggest: In the history of the United States, no Secretary of War has ever been fired during military operations. The attempt by the House of Representatives to impeach and impeach me is a farce.
The efforts to impeach me are the actions of a man who wants to use his last days in Congress to attack President Trump and the country.
The Republicans still control Congress and must profit while there is time. The attempt to oust me stems from political differences and has nothing to do with serious crimes, violations, high treason or bribery.
