LIVE: Ossoff’s ‘Were Those Accurate?’ Clash With Hegseth Resurfaces as House Impeachment Vote Looms
Jon Ossoff grills Pete Hegseth over his Iran war claims as their explosive Senate hearing exchange resurfaces amid the growing push to impeach the US Defense Secretary. Ossoff challenged Hegseth over his earlier statements that Iran’s military had been ‘destroyed’ and ‘made combat ineffective’, repeatedly asking whether those claims were accurate. Hegseth did not directly answer the question.
The July 21 Senate Appropriations Committee confrontation is attracting renewed attention as Republican Congressman Thomas Massie moves to force a House impeachment vote against Hegseth. Massie’s eight articles of impeachment accuse the Defense Secretary of violating the War Powers Resolution, conducting military operations without congressional authorization and other alleged abuses of power. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has also declared himself a ‘hard yes’ on impeachment. With the House vote potentially coming by Wednesday, Ossoff’s earlier questioning is back in the spotlight. Watch the resurfaced exchange and the latest developments in the Hegseth impeachment showdown.
