Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters at a news conference Tuesday morning that a disgruntled Congressman’s impeachment effort over “lawful” and “successful” military orders from the Commander-in-Chief were over policy disagreements.
Hegseth said they’ve seen show trials before when they impeached Trump over a perfect phone call.
The remedy he said for policy disagreements lies with debate in Congress.
