Secretary of War Pete Hegseth faces possible impeachment by Congress and is fighting back. At a Pentagon news conference Tuesday, he said the effort will fail and blamed critics on the left for wanting him gone out of ego and resentment.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who is leaving Congress, filed eight articles of impeachment, one accusing Hegseth of breaking the 1973 War Powers Resolution by waging the Iran war without congressional approval.

Hegseth noted that his predecessor Lloyd Austin was never impeached, despite the Afghanistan withdrawal and the Chinese spy balloon incident.
