Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation required a tie-breaking vote from Vice President J.D. Vance.
United States Senate.
So, you can see how iffy Hegseth's position was from the beginning. Also the 200 (drug smugglers executed without a trial on the open seas is basically murder according to Eugene Fidell of the Yale Law School who is a recognized authority regarding Constitutional Law.
So, whether Hegseth is impeached or not once he is out of office he could be tried just like people responsible for the my Lai massacre during the Viet Nam War.
During the Viet Nam War U.S. troops killed Hundreds of Unarmed civilians at My Lai.
I suppose Trump could pardon Hegseth for the murder of those 200 "drug smugglers?" but then who is going to pardon Trump for those murders if he does that? I think Trump would rather see Hegseth in Jail than go to jail himself for these 200 murders. So, like all people loyal to Trump like this it is quite likely that Hegseth could see Jail time for these 200 murders of "Drug Smugglers?" without a trial and due process. Because of this we likely will never know if they were guilty of anything or not. I'm thinking they likely weren't guilty of anything at this point.
