Pentagon chief defies 'blue wave' and says impeachment calls 'won't work' against him

US Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said impeachment calls and rumors against him "will not work." The statement was made in a video published on social media this Thursday (5).

Rumors of a possible impeachment request gained strength amid the majority of Democrats in Congress. With the 'blue wave', US congressmen could file the resignation of the secretary of war.

“Just like the president, we are not backing down,” Hegseth said. “The next few months and years are crucial for our department.”
