️🇺🇸 Bloomberg: U.S. Rep. Pete Hegseth is facing growing bipartisan pressure to leave his post after next month's midterm elections, as Democrats and some Republicans prepare to pursue his impeachment if President Trump doesn't fire him.
Criticism focuses on the administration's handling of the war with Iran, the removal of senior military officers, restrictions on congressional oversight, and the management of sensitive military information. Republican Representative Thomas Massey has already introduced articles of impeachment, while Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries has vowed to push for Gest's impeachment if his party regains control of the House.
The results of the terms may determine how far the effort progresses, as lawmakers consider impeachment proceedings and broader investigations into the Pentagon's handling of the Iran war. Trump continued to publicly defend Geseth.
