Republican lawmaker files impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth
Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging abuses of power and illegal war-making in Iran. The House could vote on the resolution as early as Wednesday. Massie's charges include violations of the 1973 War Powers Resolution, misconduct involving civilian casualties, and operations in Yemen and Venezuela. He cited a US strike that killed 120 children, arguing Hegseth executed unlawful orders without congressional approval. President Donald Trump has reaffirmed support for Hegseth, who would not be removed unless convicted by a two-thirds Senate majority. The move follows Republican midterm losses, with some lawmakers potentially backing the charges.
