🔻Trump calls House vote on impeachment of Hegset a «acquittal»

Donald Trump, the U.S. president, reacted to today’s vote in the House of Representatives for the impeachment of the defense secretary in a post on social media.

He says: «The Democrats’ effort to impeach Pete Hegset, the war minister, ended in a humiliating failure! All Republicans, except Thomas Massi, who is a total loser, voted in favor of Pete.»

Mr. Trump wrote that this vote, which effectively removes the impeachment measure from the path at least until January, is tantamount to «the acquittal of a great American patriot.»
