US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth Calls Impeachment Efforts Against Him 'A Farce'

US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth has dismissed impeachment efforts against him as “a farce”, pushing back against calls for his removal. Speaking at the Pentagon, Hegseth said such efforts would send the wrong message to America's adversaries, suggesting they would signal that the US punishes its own military leaders for carrying out lawful military operations.
