Washington DC; US President Donald Trump has strongly defended Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, awarding him an “A” PLUS, PLUS, PLUS grade following his press conference responding to an impeachment effort led by Republican lawmakers.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Hegseth’s handling of the allegations while launching a sharp attack on Representative Thomas Massie, who introduced the impeachment resolution.
Trump wrote, “Pete Hegseth gets an “A” PLUS PLUS PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!”
Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, has brought forward a resolution containing eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth.
The allegations mainly accuse the Pentagon chief of violating the US Constitution and the War Powers Act by launching military operations against Iran without obtaining congressional approval.
The resolution also raises concerns over military operations in Yemen and the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
Trump’s public endorsement comes as Hegseth faces mounting political criticism over the military actions cited in the impeachment proposal.
