> US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denounced an impeachment resolution against him as a “farce” and “sabotage.” Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced the measure over the Iran war, strikes on alleged drug boats and other alleged legal violations. The House was expected to hold a procedural vote on whether to debate it; President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Hegseth.
