  "summary": "Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky has moved to force a vote in the House of Representatives to impeach US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. According to The Guardian US, Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his powers and illegally waging war without congressional authorization.\n\nThe move comes following a defeat in the midterm elections. France 24 reports that Massie's action puts pressure on fellow Republicans to decide whether to remove the prominent figure from the Trump administration. El Pais notes that Hegseth has few supporters among Republicans due to his role in the war against Iran following the midterm election results.\n\nBBC World reports that while the effort will likely fail, Massie intends to push Donald Trump to fire Hegseth before Democrats can begin their own impeachment process.",
