Republican Rep. Massie files impeachment resolution against Hegseth over Iran war

in.gr (Greek) —

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie filed an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abuse of power related to the war in Iran. A House vote is expected by Wednesday. Massie alleges Hegseth knowingly executed unlawful orders to start a war against a foreign nation, violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973. The vote will occur in the current Republican-controlled House, as Massie is not seeking reelection. Hegseth retains support from President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, following the Republican loss in the 2026 midterms, some lawmakers are seeking accountability, though Senate conviction remains unlikely.
