Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said War Secretary Pete Hegseth is more likely to resign by the end of the year than continue leading the Pentagon and be subject to Democrat-led hearings when the new Congress is sworn in.

Massie told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins he is not surprised President Donald Trump has continued to support Hegseth, even after Massie introduced articles of impeachment against the war secretary on Monday. However, Massie said the move is familiar to the Trump administration.
