Republican lawmaker moves to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

lalibre.be (French) —

Republican Representative Thomas Massie has initiated impeachment proceedings against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a rare move from within the president's own party. Massie, a frequent critic of President Trump, announced the impeachment effort from the House floor. The action follows Republican dissatisfaction with Hegseth's role in the war against Iran, despite Trump's public support for him. CNN reports the House could vote on Hegseth's impeachment as early as next week. This development comes after Democrats' sweeping midterm victory, with projections giving them at least 250 House seats starting in January.
