Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Why it matters: The long-shot effort centers on two scandals currently rocking the Pentagon — a new report about Signalgate and allegations of a follow-up strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat.

    Rumors have been going around that Hegseth was gonna get fired early next year anyway.

    Apparently Trump promised not to fire any cabinet members for a year bc he had such turmoil amongst the turnover during his first term.

    Sorry for the CNN article. I actually read a story about this back in Sept but I can’t remember where and CNN was the first I could find referencing the same idea.

    At the time I read about, it was over Signalgate and the embarrassing Trump at the Fat Generals Speech.
