  "account": "U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, departing Congress after losing his party's primary, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday. The Kentucky Republican warned that Hegseth may face increased scrutiny under a Democratic-controlled Congress. Massie expressed confidence that Hegseth would not remain in his position through the year's end. The impeachment effort could be among Massie's final major actions in Congress, as he will not return for the next term. Massie accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution, undermining measures to reduce civilian casualties, overseeing extrajudicial killings during strikes, and retaliating against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. Hegseth rejected the impeachment push, comparing it to past efforts against President Trump. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that Hegseth would remain in his role until the end of the Trump administration. The impeachment resolution could be put to a House vote as early as Wednesday, pending approval by House Speaker Mike Johnson. If passed, the matter would move to the Senate, where a two-thirds majority would be needed for conviction and removal.",
