Secretary of State Marcio Rubio on Monday backed embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying “he’s done a great job” as a Republican lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday he’s "not worried" about a Republican lawmaker's impeachment effort against him, shortly before articles of impeachment were filed. Hegseth declined to address Vice President JD Vance’s social media post blaming the war with Iran for the GOP's major midterm losses.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The effort follows the GOP’s disastrous midterm election losses last week and Republican criticism aimed at Hegseth. CNN's Haley Britzky reports.

In his first public speech since Republicans faced sweeping losses in the midterm elections, Vice President JD Vance quipped about a "devastating loss last week"... by the Ohio State Buckeyes.

President Donald Trump said today he was “kidding” when he offered UFC CEO Dana White the press secretary job over the weekend.

Chuck Schumer is confident he’ll continue leading Senate Democrats after they captured the chamber’s majority in dramatic fashion on Tuesday. Not all Democrats are so sure. CNN’s Patrick Svitek reports.

President Donald Trump told CBS' “60 Minutes” that he thinks his Make America Great Again brand can still exist without him as the leader.

Former President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he “won’t be able to do as many conversations” about his upcoming presidential memoir due to his fight with prostate cancer.
