Massie files impeachment articles against Hegseth over Iran war

wcpo.com —

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced new articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on the House floor Monday, accusing him of abusing powers by continuing the war against Iran and defying a congressional resolution to withdraw. Massie read from the resolution that Hegseth "has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office." The Kentucky Republican previously announced impeachment efforts in September, arguing Hegseth violated the law by engaging in hostilities in Iran for over 90 days without congressional authorization. Massie had promised a Democrat Congress would pursue the impeachment if elected in November. This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
