Hegseth demands $350B for military, fires back at Dem impeachment push

War Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Congress Thursday to approve at least $350 billion in defense funding while pushing back against Democratic efforts to impeach him.

In a video posted to X, Hegseth defended his Pentagon overhaul, including eliminating DEI initiatives, removing military leaders and rebuilding recruitment.

Hegseth called the impeachment effort political theater and vowed to continue advancing President Donald Trump's military agenda despite Democratic opposition.
