US Attorney General Todd Blanche has defended Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth amid Republican efforts to impeach him. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced eight articles of impeachment on Tuesday, alleging Hegseth's unlawful military operations in Iran and alleged abuse of authority. Massie accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973, continuing hostilities without congressional authorization, and abusing his power.
