CNN reports many Republican lawmakers and allies blame Defense Secretary Hegseth
for election losses, accusing him of pushing Trump to attack Iran without an
exit strategy or a plan to manage the political fallout. GOP leaders and many
colleagues remain reluctant to directly blame Trump. House Republicans are
expected to hold a direct impeachment vote within days; Rep. Thomas Massie plans
to move the measure after Congress reconvenes next week, and several GOP sources
say they expect the vote to pass.
