Fresh political turmoil is gripping Washington after House Democrats filed six articles of impeachment against US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. This intensifies speculation over whether President Donald Trump could make Hegseth redundant due to the many controversies he has brought upon the White House.
President Trump has been known to remove members of his cabinet, as in the case of Kristi Noem, the 8th United States Secretary of Homeland Security, who was fired in March 2026. Attorney General Pam Bondi was also let go in early April 2026 after Trump expressed frustration with her performance.
