Republican Massie Files Impeachment Articles Against Pentagon Chief Hegseth

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has formally introduced articles of impeachment against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of eight counts of official misconduct. The House could vote on the measure as early as Wednesday. Massie alleges Hegseth advanced the war against Iran without congressional approval and exceeded his authority as defense secretary. House Democrats, including incoming Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, support the effort, citing the unpopular war's economic fallout and rising gasoline prices. Hegseth dismissed concerns about Republican support, saying "we're not worried about that," and announced his first press conference in months for Tuesday. President Donald Trump continues to back Hegseth, saying he is doing a "very good job."
