House Republicans file impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the House floor, escalating a direct challenge to the Trump administration official. The articles were unveiled during a formal House session, with NBC News reporting that the move initiates a procedural process that will determine whether the chamber votes on the impeachment measure. The White House has not yet issued a formal response to the filing. Massie's action marks a rare impeachment effort against a Cabinet secretary, coming amid broader political tensions following the midterm elections. The articles' specific allegations against Hegseth were not detailed in the initial report.
