President Donald Trump said he would stand by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth if he’s impeached, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who introduced articles of impeachment earlier Monday, is “a stone cold loser.”

President Donald Trump said he would stand by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth if he’s impeached, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who introduced articles of impeachment earlier Monday, is “a stone cold loser.”

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie explains his reasoning for bringing eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a press conference just minutes after formally introducing them on the House floor.

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.

President Donald Trump was joined in an impromptu White House press briefing by UFC CEO Dana White to clear the air on whether White will become Trump’s new press secretary.

Less than a week after telling the New York Times that he was "absolutely willing to accept" the results of the 2026 midterms, President Trump began questioning them in a Truth Social post on Monday

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The House must vote by Wednesday on the effort, which is likely to pass. A trial could then be held in the Senate, where a supermajority, two-thirds of the body, would need to be reached to convict.

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.

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.
