  "account": "Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a vocal opponent of former President Donald Trump, introduced eight articles of impeachment against United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Monday. The resolution, proposed by the Kentucky congressman, alleges that Hegseth authorized the ongoing Iran war without congressional approval. Massie further asserts that Hegseth has abused his authority as the head of the Pentagon. Employing a special procedure, Massie aims to have the US House of Representatives vote on the resolution within two days, a move that is particularly significant given the current Republican majority in the legislative chamber. Hegseth, in response to the mounting criticism, sought to play down the allegations during a press conference on Monday. He stated, \"My team, we’re not worried about the noise.\"",
