Republican lawmaker gives Hegseth ultimatum: resign or face impeachment

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has issued an ultimatum to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: resign or face impeachment proceedings when Congress reconvenes, following Republican midterm losses. Massie told CNN he intends to trigger a House vote on impeachment, with the confrontation stemming from Republican debate over the political cost of the Iran war. Vice President JD Vance has blamed the conflict for the election defeat, while Massie accuses Republicans of failing to challenge Trump. Trump has defended Hegseth, saying he is "doing a very good job," and the Pentagon states he will not back down. Massie's demand sets up a potentially explosive internal party fight.
