Pete Hegseth strikes defiant tone in face of impeachment threat

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story around Pete Hegseth’s defiant response to impeachment threats, and all use similar language about them “won’t work.” South China Morning Post is the only one to quote him saying he will “not back down” and to mention a “lame duck” Congress and Democrats’ landslide midterm victory. NBC News adds that many lawmakers, including some Republicans, have criticized him over his handling of the Iran war, while CNN’s extract offers no extra detail beyond the headline.
