Why It Matters

Après leur victoire aux élections de mi-mandat, les démocrates reprendront la majorité au Congrès en janvier et pourraient ressusciter la procédure de destitution contre Pete Hegseth.

Font size

Les députés américains ont voté mardi pour renvoyer en commission une résolution visant à mettre en accusation le ministre de la Défense Pete Hegseth devant le Congrès, torpillant dans les faits cette procédure qui aurait pu aboutir à sa destitution. La résolution sur cet «impeachment» de Pete Hegseth ne sera donc pas soumise à un vote cette semaine, comme l'espéraient les démocrates et le député républicain qui l'avait soumise. Après leur victoire aux élections de mi-mandat, les démocrates pourraient cependant la ressusciter en janvier, lorsqu'ils reprendront la majorité au Congrès.

Donald Trump s'est réjoui mardi de cet échec. La procédure «a échoué lamentablement», s'est félicité le président américain sur sa plateforme Truth Social, saluant son ministre de la Défense de «grand patriote».

Le ministre américain de la Défense Pete Hegseth avait, de son côté, qualifié mardi de «mise en scène politique» la procédure de destitution initiée par un député à son encontre pour entre autres sa gestion de la guerre contre l'Iran. «Ce qu'un député vaincu et aigri tente de faire n'est pas un travail de contrôle ou une démarche pour faire rendre des comptes. C'est une mise en scène politique, un manifeste personnel dicté par l'ego et le ressentiment», a-t-il déclaré devant les journalistes. «C'est une farce et un coup médiatique».
