Hegseth Faces Impeachment Push Over Iran War Conduct

n-tv.de (German) —

A new impeachment resolution has been filed against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie over his conduct during the Iran war, though President Trump backs his embattled minister. Massie accuses Hegseth of unlawful warfare against Iran, disregarding civilian casualty laws, and killing alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific without legal basis. The House must vote by Wednesday, but Republican majorities make success unlikely. Hegseth faces growing bipartisan criticism over the Iran conflict's economic toll, which contributed to Republican midterm losses. Trump has vowed loyalty, and Massie, a vocal critic, will lose his congressional seat in January.
