Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will respond to the push to impeach him at a Pentagon press briefing on Tuesday morning, NewsNation reports. It will be his first briefing since May.
The briefing comes before the House votes on Thomas Massie's eight articles of impeachment. Under House rules the vote must take place within two legislative days, so by Wednesday at the latest, according to Fox News and CNN.
House Republicans are privately warning that the resolution could pass, Fox News reports.
Roll Call says Democrats gaining control of both chambers in the next Congress, following the 3 November midterms, may have improved Massie's chances. It says his odds may now be better than his earlier 50-50 estimate.
