Republican lawmakers plan to initiate an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Hergsays in the House of Representatives, with a vote expected as early as next week. Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massey indicated he plans to initiate the vote, and several Republican sources anticipate its passage. Some Republicans believe Hergsays bear responsibility for the decision to use force against Iran and subsequent contingency plans, accusing him of exaggerating the prospect of a swift victory. US President Trump on Wednesday denied any plans to fire Hegses, saying he was doing a great job and that he would do the same decision to go to war if given the chance. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that Hegses is committed to leading the department until the end of Trump's term. (Source: CNN)
