Thomas Massie drafts impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth

kcra.com —

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie released draft articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, alleging eight impeachable acts, with plans to formally introduce them in the House this week. The 34-page draft accuses Hegseth of abusing power and violating federal law, including directing unauthorized military operations in Iran, Venezuela, and Yemen, and mishandling civilian casualties. Massie cited the War Powers Resolution and alleged retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly. Hegseth dismissed the effort, saying "We're not worried about that," and plans a Pentagon news conference Tuesday. President Trump expressed continued confidence, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expects strong Democratic support for the impeachment push.
