US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to hold a news conference from the Pentagon after a Republican congressman launched an attempt to impeach him – watch live from 08:00 EST (13:00 GMT)
It will be Hegseth’s first news conference in six months, and comes amid mounting frustration from both parties over his handling of the Iran war
Articles of impeachment were introduced into the House of Representatives on Monday by Republican Thomas Massie, who says the defence secretary violated the constitution by not seeking approval for the war
Hegseth has said he is “not worried” about the impeachment effort and told reporters to come “loaded” with questions
The effort will likely fail, as Republicans remain in power in Congress until January, meaning they have the majority power over any vote
