Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas thinks that the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will eventually be forced into resignation, dismissed, or impeached before the end of Trump’s second term in office.
In an interview at his show The Verdict, Cruz stated, “Essentially, one of two things will transpire: either Hegseth resigns from his post voluntarily, or the president fires him. Neither happening, I believe the impeachment process by the House is going to become extremely probable, or even inevitable, because the simple majority necessary for this is now within reach.”
The comments were made prior to a vote to quash the eight articles of impeachment against the Pentagon head introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican.
The House of Representatives voted to refer the articles to the committee. That means that the latest effort to impeach Hegseth by Congress is put on hold.
The president himself expressed his satisfaction via social networks.
“Recent victories in Venezuela and Iran, record-setting numbers of applicants in military recruitment with long waiting lists. Unprecedented morale have resulted in vindicating an extraordinary American patriot,” wrote Trump at his page at Truth Social.
Earlier this week, Cruz said that if Democrats won the majority in Congress they would be able to initiate impeachment proceedings against him.
“Moreover, I think that should Senator Schumer preside over a Senate trial, he would prolong the procedure for weeks or even months to bring attention to the opposition to the war in Iran,” he added.
