Hegseth defiant amid impeachment threat
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put out a new video amid a potential impeachment battle. NBC News’ Garrett Haake reports.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story around Pete Hegseth’s political vulnerability after the Iran war and Republican midterm losses, with Trump’s role in the fallout also central. Fox News stands out for leading with a bipartisan impeachment threat and House Republicans, while ABC News instead foregrounds Trump ruling out a replacement. The Hill is the only one to describe Hegseth’s future at the Pentagon as increasingly uncertain and to cite unnamed sources in the discussion.
