Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, GOP Rep. French Hill of Arkansas was noncommittal about whether he would support an impeachment push against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Detailed Factual Report

Washington — GOP Rep. French Hill of Arkansas was noncommittal on Sunday about whether he would support an impeachment push against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as lawmakers are poised to return to Capitol Hill this week for the first time since voters delivered widespread rebuke in the midterm elections of the GOP — and the war in Iran.

"I want to hear the debate on it to see if it merits impeachment versus some other disciplinary action or action by the president if he's not getting the job done in leading the Department of War," Hill said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan ."

Hegseth is expected to be under the microscope this week as long-brewing anger has come to the fore following the midterm elections , where Republicans saw brutal losses as many voters cited concerns about the war in Iran and its impact on the cost of living. Before lawmakers left town for the campaign trail, outgoing GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth. This week, Massie said he plans to push ahead with forcing the vote.

Hill acknowledged that he's not satisfied with how the war has been handled. And he added that, "The commander in chief has to take the responsibility for the strategy of conducting the war and how it's been conducted."
