AI summaryAccording to РБК-Україна, US President Donald Trump does not plan to dismiss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faces impeachment, and backs him in resisting efforts to remove him from office.
According to Sputnik, Republican Representative Thomas Massie formally submitted an impeachment resolution against the war secretary on Monday. According to ТСН, the main complaints include taking part in a military operation against Iran without the approval of the US legislature.
