US defense chief calls move to impeach him a 'political spectacle'

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday slammed the move to impeach him as a "political spectacle" by an outgoing congressional opponent of President Donald Trump.

"What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment," Hegseth told journalists.
