US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth dismissed renewed impeachment threats as mere political theater, stressing that attacks from opponents would not force him out of office. In a video message, Hegseth defended his leadership of the Department of War, reaffirming his commitment to President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda and vowing to continue the administration's military policies despite criticism over the Iran conflict.
He described the impeachment attempt as an attempt to destroy political opponents, stating that their policies "don't work," and that opposition to his leadership is driven by a "politics of personal destruction." Hegseth also backed the administration's military campaign against Iran, describing it as a "courageous and historic effort" aimed at preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
He urged Congress to approve additional defense funding, including a reconciliation bill of at least $350 billion, to strengthen America's military capabilities. Hegseth urged American troops to remain focused on their responsibilities, despite the political controversy, and declared that the Department of War will "stand, fight, and defend this Republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic."
