Trump Attacks Republican Lawmaker Over Hegseth Impeachment Bid

vg.no (Swedish) —

President Donald Trump has launched a verbal attack on Republican Congressman Thomas Massie after Massie filed an impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, calling Massie a "total loser" on Truth Social. Massie's resolution contains eight articles accusing Hegseth of violating the 1973 War Powers Act related to the Iran war and military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. Hegseth denies the allegations, and the proposal faces an uncertain path despite a required vote within two legislative days. The conflict follows a devastating midterm election for Republicans, with Democrats securing majorities in both congressional chambers. While the impeachment resolution must be brought to a vote, Hegseth's removal remains unlikely as it would require a two-thirds Senate majority.
