Republican lawmaker files impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth

globalnews.ca —

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced impeachment articles Monday against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing "high crimes and misdemeanors" over military actions including the Iran war, setting up a potential House vote this week. The resolution focuses on the Iran conflict and operations in Yemen and Venezuela. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes the move, warning against impeaching a Cabinet secretary during active hostilities, while most Democrats are expected to support it. Hegseth dismissed the effort as "noise" and defended the military campaigns, noting Trump's support. A House vote would send the matter to the Senate, though Republicans retain control until January.
