Pete Hegseth to hold first Pentagon briefing since May amid impeachment threat

Washington Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to give his first news conference from the Pentagon in six months on Tuesday (November 10, 2026), just a day after a Republican lawmaker launched an effort to impeach him over his handling of the unpopular war against Iran and other actions. The briefing will be Hegseth's first since May even as the U.S. military has kept up intermittent operations against the Islamic Republic as well as fatal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in Latin America.
