U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a Pentagon news conference on the morning of November 10, 2026, that the effort by outgoing Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky to impeach him “is a farce, and it’s a stunt, and everybody knows it.” He called the push a “political spectacle” and “sabotage”directed at U.S. troops.

美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞思于2026年11月10日上午在五角大楼举行记者会,回应即将卸任的肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西对他提出的弹劾案。他说,这次弹劾“是一场闹剧,是作秀,大家都心知肚明”。他还把这项行动称作针对美军的“政治表演”和“破坏”。

Hegseth said every military action cited in the articles was lawful. “Iran, the cartels, Maduro, Yemen, every one was a lawful operation ordered by the commander in chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress and executed by American warriors who did their jobs,” he said. “These are not high crimes. This is the job and it’s the job well done.”

赫格塞思强调,弹劾条款提到的每一次军事行动都是合法的。他说:“伊朗、贩毒集团、马杜罗、也门,每一次都是合法行动,由三军统帅下令,再由我下令,事先通知了国会,最后由尽职的美国军人执行。”“这些不是重罪。这是本职工作,而且做得很好。”

On the accusation that U.S. forces target civilians, Hegseth said: “That is a lie and that is a slander against every professional who flew, sailed and fought on these missions. The only people who target civilians are the terrorists that we hunt.” He also said: “These resolutions are a farce. They mock the Constitution, they attack the chain of command and they criminalize the warfighters who execute lawful orders.” He argued that the resolution tells “our enemies, Iran, the cartels, every adversary watching that the United States will actually punish its own warriors and its own civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations.”

针对美军以平民为目标的指控,赫格塞思说:“那是谎言,是对每一位参加这些任务的飞行员、水兵和战斗人员的诽谤。唯一针对平民的是我们追捕的恐怖分子。”他还说:“这些决议是一场闹剧。它们嘲弄宪法,攻击指挥链,并把执行合法命令的军人当成罪犯。”他认为,这项决议是在向“我们的敌人——伊朗、贩毒集团,以及每一个正在观望的对手——表明,美国会因为本国军人和文职领导成功执行合法军事行动而惩罚他们”。

Asked whether he was confident of President Trump’s support, Hegseth said: “I let the president speak for himself, and I’m grateful for his support.” After the briefing, President Trump posted that Hegseth “gets an ‘A’ PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!” Hegseth said he respects Vice President JD Vance greatly and described him as “a critical member of the team,” while declining to debate Vance’s comment that the Iran war was a major reason Republicans lost the midterm elections.

在被问到是否确信能得到川普总统支持时,赫格塞思说:“我让总统自己说话,我感谢他的支持。”记者会结束后,川普总统发帖称,赫格塞思的抗辩“得了A加、加、加”,并把马西称作“彻底的失败者”。赫格塞思表示非常尊重副总统JD·万斯,称他是“团队中的关键成员”,但拒绝就万斯关于伊朗战争是共和党中期选举失利主要原因的说法展开争论。

Thomas Massie is a Republican representative from Kentucky who has served in Congress since 2012, after winning a special election on November 6, 2012. He is leaving Congress at the end of this year. He is known for often breaking with his party and frequently opposing President Trump, especially on the Iran war and war powers. The impeachment effort was brought by a fellow Republican.

托马斯·马西是来自肯塔基州的共和党众议员,自2012年起担任国会众议员,当年11月6日在补选中当选。他将于今年年底卸任。他素以经常与本党立场不合、多次反对川普总统著称,尤其是在伊朗战争和战争权力问题上。这次弹劾是由同属共和党的议员提出的。

Massie reintroduced eight articles of impeachment on November 9. Three concern the Iran war and the War Powers Resolution, including the charge that the war was waged without a congressional declaration or authorization. The other articles concern laws intended to limit civilian casualties, lethal strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without congressional authorization, the war in Yemen, and the treatment of Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. Massie first sought to force a vote before the midterm elections; after House Speaker Mike Johnson called an early recess, that resolution expired.

马西于11月9日重新提出八项弹劾条款。其中三项涉及伊朗战争和《战争权力决议》,包括指控这场战争未经国会宣战或授权。其余条款涉及旨在限制平民伤亡的法律、在加勒比海和东太平洋对涉嫌贩毒船只的致命打击、未经国会授权抓捕委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗、也门战事,以及对亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利的处理。马西在中期选举前已试图推动表决;众议院议长迈克·约翰逊提前休会后,该决议失效。

Because Massie filed the measure as a privileged resolution, the House must take it up within two legislative days. The House could vote as early as 2:30 p.m. PST on November 10. Republicans may first move to table the resolution or refer it to a committee; either motion would require a majority. Impeachment itself also requires only a simple majority in the House. Massie said he does not know whether the measure has the votes. NBC News reported that it had not heard from any Republican other than Massie who had committed to backing impeachment. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has said he supports the resolution.

由于马西以特权决议的方式提出弹劾案,众议院必须在两个立法日内处理。众议院最早可能于美西时间11月10日下午2时30分表决。共和党议员可以先提出搁置决议或将其提交委员会的动议,这两项动议都需要过半数通过。弹劾本身在众议院也只需简单多数。马西表示,他不知道这项决议是否凑够票数。据NBC新闻报道,除马西外,该台尚未听说其他共和党议员承诺支持弹劾。众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯已表示支持这项决议。

Even if the House were to impeach Hegseth, removing him from office would still require a Senate conviction by a two-thirds vote, or 67 of 100 senators. Republicans currently hold 53 Senate seats. Democrats are expected to hold about 54 seats when the new Congress convenes on January 3, 2027, still far short of 67. As of publication, the House had not yet voted.

即便众议院通过弹劾,要将赫格塞思免职,仍须经参议院以三分之二多数定罪,也就是100名参议员中的67票。共和党目前在参议院拥有53席。新国会将于2027年1月3日就任,民主党届时预计将拥有约54席,仍远远不够67票。截至发稿时,众议院尚未表决。
