Pete Hegseth on defense after Massie files articles of impeachment

And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will look to defend himself later this morning, not that efforts to impeach him, now that efforts to impeach him are underway. That's right. Robert Moses is here now with the very latest. Robert, when's this expected to start? Within the hour, Dan and Rosanna, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to hold a news conference to defend himself against the articles of impeachment that outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massie yesterday introduced on the House floor. Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, resolved Eight articles of impeachment, three focus on the war against Iran. Another accuses Hegseth of overseeing the kidnapping of a sovereign foreign leader, in this case, Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro. Another focuses on the killings of suspected drug traffickers without congressional approval. In short, Massie accuses Hegseth of violating the American Constitution. According to House rules, the chamber must vote on Massie's resolution by tomorrow. Massie urged... Hegseth to mount a substantive defense when he speaks with the press in an hour or so. I hope he addresses the eight articles and doesn't get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and, you know, call everybody fat and gay, like, for being for this impeachment. Like, I may have just given you half his speech. I don't know. So far, the president still publicly supports Hegseth, who sounds undaunted by the impeachment chatter. Proud of the president's America First agenda, of our peace through strength posture. We know the world is a better and safer place as a result. And so if we want to litigate that, the success of those things, I'm happy to do it all day long. Yeah, I'll stand by him. So even if he's impeached, you're going to keep him in your defense? Massie is a loser, stone-cold loser. Brooklyn Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, who is expected to become House Speaker, thinks Hegseth must be removed from office immediately. It's clear as day. He's been a failure and a disaster for the American people. He's shredded the law and the Constitution. Jeffries predicts that some of Massey's fellow Republicans will join Democrats in supporting impeachment. A simple majority in the House is required for that resolution to pass. If it does, Hegseth could face a trial in the Senate where a two-thirds majority is needed for conviction and removal. Only two cabinet secretaries have ever been impeached in American history. Rosanna. All right, Robert, thank you so much.
