Republican launches impeachment against US War Secretary Hegseth
Republican launches impeachment against US defense chief
Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, alleging he waged war in Iran without congressional authorization and abused his powers. The Republican-controlled House could vote as early as Wednesday on the resolution, with some Trump administration supporters signaling they might join Democrats in backing the charges.
President Donald Trump has publicly supported Hegseth, praising his performance in recent conflicts. Impeachment would require a two-thirds majority in the Senate, a steep hurdle even if Democrats gain control in January. If convicted, Hegseth would be removed from office, though that outcome is far from certain.
