  "summary": "U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on Monday that he is not worried about a potential impeachment push and expressed readiness to defend his record at the Pentagon. His comments came in response to questions regarding whether he possesses sufficient Republican support to defeat articles of impeachment.\n\nAccording to The Korea Times, these remarks follow an attempt by Republican Representative Thomas Massie to force a vote. The Hill reports that Hegseth is scheduled to deliver remarks at the Naval War College on Monday amid scrutiny regarding his role in the war in Iran and questions about his future in the Trump administration. The Hill further notes that some administration officials have reportedly blamed Hegseth for Republican midterm losses.",
