*** MANDATORY CREDIT: Fox’s “The Sunday Briefing” ***
TAG: It comes after Democrats flipped control of both the House and the Senate Tuesday night … raising the possibility for the war secretary to face investigations and impeachment. Representative Massie suggested his impeachment efforts are a “much gentler version” compared to what Democrats could do. Secretary Hegseth has faced criticism for his handling of the War Department … including for firing several top military leaders and for ordering military strikes on alleged drug boats.
