As the midterm elections unfolded, with Democrats expected to gain control of both the House and Senate, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth faced mounting pressure to resign or be impeached. Hegseth's tenure had been marred by scandal, including breaches of security protocols, purging of top military leaders, and extrajudicial killings.
Reps. Hakeem Jeffries and Rosa DeLauro vowed to "run Hegseth out of town" and "go after Hegseth," respectively. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, supported by Democrats, was set to introduce eight articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors, accusing Hegseth of war crimes, violating the rule of law, and harming the U.S. military.
