Story summary

Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, remains in his position despite calls for his resignation following the Republican party's significant losses in the midterm elections. President Donald Trump has publicly backed Hegseth, stating he is "doing a great job," even as Democrats prepare to investigate him upon gaining control of Congress. Thomas Massie, a GOP congressman, introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth, alleging "high crimes and misdemeanors" related to the Iran war, including accusations of kidnapping a foreign leader and ignoring laws meant to protect civilians. Trump has dismissed Massie's efforts as baseless, calling him a "total loser." The controversy centers on whether Hegseth will become a political casualty amid growing opposition to President Trump’s handling of the conflict in Iran.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
