US President Donald Trump praised Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, describing him as a “great American patriot” after impeachment proceedings against the latter were defeated in the US House of Representatives.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump described the procedural defeat of the impeachment effort as the “exoneration of a great American patriot.”
Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday blocked an effort to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran, marking a victory for President Donald Trump just days after his party suffered a setback in the midterm elections.
