Update: Hegseth faces bipartisan impeachment threat; Massie plans privileged vote; Hegseth seeks $350B
War Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing a bipartisan impeachment threat when Congress returns, Fox News reported Thursday, with several House Republicans telling Fox they believe a resolution could pass as early as next week. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told Fox he intends to force a vote by filing a privileged resolution if Hegseth does not resign first; once filed, lawmakers have two legislative days to hold a vote. Hegseth, in a video posted Thursday, urged Congress to approve at least $350 billion in defense funding and called the impeachment effort political theater, Fox said, while White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis criticized 'sham investigations.'
