Republican Massie Forces Vote on Impeaching Hegseth

Republican Representative Thomas Massie has initiated a vote on impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to Fox News. The privileged resolution bypasses majority leadership and must be considered within two legislative days. The document contains eight articles related to the war in Iran, strikes on suspected drug vessels in the Caribbean, US attacks on Yemen, and the extradition of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. President Donald Trump said he would support Hegseth, stating "I will support him. He won two wars." Massie announced the initiative before the November 3 midterm elections and originally filed the impeachment resolution in September. Hegseth called the effort a "disgrace" that "won't work" in a video posted on X. House leadership could still block the measure by tabling it or referring it to committee.
