House resolution seeks impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

aljazeera.com —

Republican Representative Thomas Massie filed a resolution to impeach US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over alleged unlawful orders related to the Iran war and other military actions. Massie accused Hegseth of violating the Constitution, citing strikes on drug boats, civilian harm, and the abduction of Venezuela's former president. He urged Hegseth to resign before Democrats take control of Congress in January. Hegseth defended his actions, welcoming the opportunity to litigate military decisions. The measure faces long odds in the Republican-led House, though Democratic leaders have pledged investigations after their midterm election victories.
