Trump Defends Hegseth, RFK Jr. Amid Impeachment Threats

2 min read

President Donald Trump dismissed Democratic threats to impeach two of his top cabinet officials, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., during a Sunday night interview with Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan. Trump called on Democrats to ‘get back to the country’ instead of focusing on attacking Republicans.

Defending Cabinet Officials

“These are two very fine people. RFK Jr. was a Democrat,” Trump said. “And he’s had those views and the views on all of the things that he’s been doing, and he’s a very popular guy. A lot of people agree.” Trump also praised Hegseth’s handling of the operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and the Iran war.

“So he wins two wars. We won in Venezuela. We’ve taken out hundreds of billions of dollars, we won in 48 minutes, and we won in Iran. We won that in Iran. It’s just a question of closing it out now or later, we may wait. Some of their neighbors would prefer that we just keep it the way it is, and, again, we haven’t lost anybody, no soldiers, been lost,” Trump said.

Questions About Lloyd Austin’s Impeachment

Trump also questioned why Lloyd Austin was not impeached after he spent two weeks in the hospital following treatment for prostate cancer. He was criticized because many top officials, including then-President Joe Biden, were unaware of Austin’s hospitalization for several days.

“Why didn’t they impeach Lloyd Austin when he was missing in action for two weeks, right? And presided over one of the worst things anyone’s ever seen,” Trump said referring to the terrorist attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate that left 13 U.S. service members and nearly two hundred civilians dead.
