美國國防部長赫格塞思（Pete Hegseth）

美國肯塔基州共和黨籍聯邦眾議員馬西向眾議院提交決議案，尋求推動彈劾國防部長赫格塞思，預計眾議院最早會於本周中期就議案進行表決。美國總統特朗普9日為赫格塞思辯護，認為眾議員馬西是「徹頭徹尾失敗者」，而赫格塞思應該受到讚揚，而不是被彈劾。

共和黨籍眾議員發起彈劾防長

美國肯塔基州共和黨籍聯邦眾議員馬西（Thomas Massie）8日向眾議院提交決議案，尋求推動彈劾國防部長赫格塞思（Pete Hegseth），主要理由為涉及赫格塞思在美國對伊朗、也門和委內瑞拉軍事行動中所起作用。議案涉及八項彈劾條款，包括未經國會批准就對伊朗發動戰事和其他濫權行為。

Rep. Thomas Massie: We're not indicting Hegseth for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution.

馬西指，並非因為赫格塞思表現不佳而發起彈劾，而是赫格塞思違反憲法及法律。馬西冀望共和黨同僚施壓，並就罷免赫格塞思作出抉擇。預料眾議院最早會於本周三 (11日)就議案進行表決。

赫格塞思即將舉行記者會回應

赫格塞思9日在海軍戰爭學院發表講話後對媒體表示，將於10日上午在五角大樓舉行記者會，針對眾議院推動彈劾他的行動發表聲明，認為如果有人對特朗普政府採取的軍事行動追究法律責任，他樂意奉陪。

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon Tuesday morning to address the House push to impeach him. It will be Hegseth's first press conference since May 5. The announcement came after remarks at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, where Hegseth dismissed concerns about impeachment and defended President Trump's handling of the Iran war. Here's what to know ahead of Tuesday's press conference: https://t.co/UqcLwp0Dip

特朗普已多次為赫格塞思辯護

美國總統特朗普9日在社交媒體發文，批評眾議員馬西是「徹頭徹尾失敗者」，認為赫格塞思是「受歡迎且最成功的軍事官員」，赫格塞思應該受到讚揚，而不是被彈劾，相信國會會為赫格塞思挺身而出。

Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached. Congress, stand up for Pete!!!

"What about impeaching the leaders of these stupid wars?" President Trump delivers a forceful defense of War Secretary Pete Hegseth, pushing back against calls for his impeachment and questioning why leaders responsible for decades of American wars aren't facing the same scrutiny. Trump points to the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, contrasting their staggering human costs with his administration's military record.

特朗普同日在白宮再次為赫格塞思辯護，反撃對赫格塞思彈劾的呼聲，質疑為何過往數十年美國戰爭的負責領導者未受到同樣審視，並與越南、伊拉克和阿富汗戰爭情況作出比較。

民主黨領袖表示支持彈劾防長

眾議院民主黨領袖哈基姆·傑弗里斯（Hakeem Jeffries）8日在接受美國廣播公司採訪時表示，強烈支持彈劾赫格塞思，指赫格塞思濫用職權，破壞美國國家安全，並策劃這場魯莽且代價高昂的對伊朗戰爭，導致美國人民的物價飆升，並使國家變得更加不安全，強調赫格塞思「必須走人」。

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: I'm a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth has got to go.
