Hegseth said attempts to impeach President Donald Trump had failed and added: “They will fail again.” “This is not patriotism. This is sabotage,” he said. Referring to the Iran war, he said: “I stand beside every one of these operations.
I was proud to execute them, and I would do it again tomorrow.” In a post on X, Mr. Massie said the House would hold a first vote on Tuesday on a procedural motion to kill the resolution. “If we can overcome that effort, we will proceed to a real debate and vote on the Articles of Impeachment,” he said.
