Trump Celebrates Failure of Democrats' Efforts to Impeach War Secretary Hegseth

US President Donald Trump celebrated early Wednesday morning the failure of Democratic efforts in the House of Representatives to remove War Secretary Pete Hegseth from office.

The House rejected a resolution on Tuesday to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth, halting an attempt to oust the head of the Pentagon over his conduct while in office and his management of the war in Iran, according to the Associated Press.

The decision passed by 211 votes to 204 in favor of referring impeachment charges to the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, effectively stopping the effort to impeach Hegseth with the aim of removing him, which was pursued by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: "The Democrats' attempt to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth has failed miserably! All Republicans voted for Pete - except Thomas Massie, who is a total loser."

He added: "Victories achieved in Venezuela and Iran, the best recruitment numbers in Army history (with long waiting lists to join!), and unprecedented high morale; all of this has vindicated a great American patriot."

Trump continued: "Democrats continue to weaponize US institutions for their own purposes and abuse them. They must be stopped! Let's restore America's greatness."
