  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the military operations as historic accomplishments and announced he will hold his first news conference in over 180 days to address the impeachment effort.
  • President Donald Trump publicly defended Hegseth against the impeachment push, claiming the administration's military actions saved both Israel and the broader Middle East.
