Hegseth Calls Impeachment Resolution ‘Sabotage,’ Defends Policy Decisions
Published on Nov. 10, 2026
During a press conference on Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth condemned impeachment efforts against him, labeling them as “sabotage.” His remarks followed the introduction of an impeachment resolution by Republican Representative Thomas Massie on Monday, which stems from Hegseth’s decisions related to the ongoing war in Iran, as well as strikes on suspected drug boats and other alleged violations of U.S. laws.
Hegseth characterized the resolution as a “farce” and accused critics of engaging in what he referred to as “policy disagreements.” He firmly defended his actions and decisions as part of his responsibilities as Secretary of Defense.
“This is not patriotism; this is sabotage,” Hegseth stated, emphasizing his stance against the impeachment motion.
President Donald Trump voiced his support for Hegseth, stating on Monday that he would stand by the Defense Secretary if impeachment proceedings move forward.
