During his press conference, Hegseth was resolute that the articles of impeachment are baseless, and that all attacks were carried out legally.
“As for the articles themselves, Iran, the cartels, Maduro, Yemen, everyone was a lawful operation ordered by the commander-in-chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress and executed by American warriors who did their jobs,” he said. “We destroyed terror regimes’ capabilities.
