Republicans turn on US defense secretary | DW News
President Donald Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is facing a possible impeachment vote in the US House of Representatives. A Republican lawmaker accuses Hegseth of illegally waging war against Iran without congressional approval. The effort comes just days after Republicans suffered a crushing defeat in the midterm elections, with voter anger over the Iran conflict playing a major role. While Trump is standing firmly behind his Pentagon chief, some Republicans are breaking ranks and backing calls for his removal. DW’s Ben Fajzullin speaks to attorney Nick Akerman and security expert Matthew Schmidt.
