White House denies Hegseth and Rubio are leaving; impeachment vote looms

The White House denied reports Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are leaving, and Trump says he intends to keep Hegseth. Hegseth has publicly characterized Massie’s impeachment effort as a dispute over policy rather than high crimes, while Vance and Rubio have defended him. A House vote was expected, but no outcome is reported in the latest coverage.
