The path to impeachment has been opened for Hegseth!

A new era begins in the USA after the midterm elections, when Democrats gained the upper hand in Congress. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has filed an eight-point impeachment motion to remove Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio supported Hegseth, while Ted Cruz said he should resign or be fired. Impeachment requires a simple majority in the House of Representatives and a two-thirds majority in the Senate.
