SAEDNEWS: White House Opposes Impeachment Bid Against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Urges Congress to Delay Proceedings
According to Saednews, The White House has condemned the impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing that it is politically motivated and undermines the will of the American people.
In an official statement, the White House said the move was an attempt to settle political scores by allowing an individual lawmaker to block national security decisions made by the Commander-in-Chief, Xinhua reported.
The administration described the impeachment resolution as a politically driven attempt to weaken the US military, undermine the Constitution, and jeopardize national security.
It also criticized the move as a political spectacle, arguing that Congress should instead focus on delivering further legislative victories for the American people while Republicans maintain control of the presidency and both chambers of Congress.
On Monday, Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth over the United States' war with Iran. The move came just days after Republicans suffered significant setbacks in the midterm elections.
