Republican congressman calls to impeach US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth
GOP Representative Thomas Massie has emerged as outspoken critic of war on Iran and overseas military interventions.
Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating the War Powers Resolution, suppressing free speech, and conducting unauthorized military operations in Venezuela and Iran. Massie contends that Hegseth's actions constitute constitutional violations and must be held accountable.
The impeachment attempt faces significant hurdles due to Republican control of the House and the high threshold needed for conviction in the Senate. Despite widespread criticism of Hegseth's management and actions, President Donald Trump has continued to endorse him, describing him as "doing a fantastic job." Massie's move to impeach Hegseth is part of a broader conflict between the Republican leadership and the President over various policy decisions.
