Trump accuses Democrats of abusing their country after attempt to impeach Hegseth

Résumé détaillé

According to the US president, "victories in Venezuela and Iran" and record recruitment numbers have "exonerated" the secretary of war

WASHINGTON, November 11. /TASS/. The Democratic Party is weaponizing and abusing the United States, US President Donald Trump said after a failed attempt to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

"The Democrats’ attempt to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has miserably failed! Every single Republican, except Thomas Massie, a major loser, voted in favor of Pete. Again, Victories in Venezuela and Iran, the Best Recruitment Numbers in the History of the Military (Long waiting lists to get in!), and Spirit like rarely seen before, led to the exoneration of a Great American Patriot. The Democrats continue to weaponize and abuse the United States of America. They must be stopped!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

During a procedural vote on Tuesday, the House of Representatives of the US Congress turned down an attempt to initiate the impeachment procedure for Hegseth, by voting to send the document for approval to a relevant committee, where Trump’s supporters hold the majority of seats. This effectively means blocking it. Republican members of the committee will not allow the document to be passed before the end of the current congressional session.

Earlier, Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth. Hegseth dismissed the attempt as a farce.

Many Democratic and some Republican lawmakers have voiced strong dissatisfaction with the Pentagon chief’s actions in the conflict with Iran.

The United States held its midterm elections on November 3. Voters elected one-third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives, as well as governors in 36 states and territories. Local elections were also held. Both chambers of Congress are currently controlled by the ruling Republican Party. The 120th Congress, formed based on the election results, will begin work on January 3, 2027. Democrats will hold majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
