️🇺🇸 WaPo: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth intends to remain in office until the end of President Trump's term, despite growing calls from Democrats to impeach him if they gain control of the House of Representatives.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told the newspaper that Gasth is "100% committed" to staying, adding that he "will not back down or shy away from politicians seeking to score partisan points or launch bogus investigations where there is no wrongdoing."
Democratic lawmakers are increasingly debating impeachment and investigations into the Pentagon's handling of the Iran war. However, some administration and congressional officials believe a poor midterm result could prompt Hesseth to consider leaving office.
