Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to hold a rare press briefing at the Pentagon on Tuesday morning. The upcoming appearance comes as the U.S. House of Representatives weighs a newly introduced impeachment resolution.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced the resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors, including illegally prosecuting the war with Iran without congressional approval. President Donald Trump has strongly defended Hegseth, dismissing the push for impeachment and criticizing the Kentucky lawmaker.
While the House could potentially approve the resolution, a Senate conviction during a subsequent trial is considered unlikely. Tuesday's briefing marks Hegseth's first address to reporters from the Pentagon briefing room since May.
