> After an effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth failed, President Donald Trump accused Democrats of weaponizing and abusing the United States. He said victories in Venezuela and Iran, along with record military recruitment, had exonerated Hegseth. The House voted to send the impeachment document to a committee controlled by Trump supporters, effectively blocking the effort.
