India, Nov. 10 -- US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday dismissed the move to impeach him, calling it a "political spectacle" orchestrated by a defeated congressional opponent of President Donald Trump.

"What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight and it's not accountability. It's a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment," Hegseth told reporters.

He also said he stood by the military operations carried out under his leadership.
