news.mail.ru (Russian) —

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie introduced an impeachment resolution against U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of exceeding authority and violating the Constitution. The document contains eight charges. Three charges relate to U.S. military operations against Iran, with Massie alleging Hegseth violated the 1973 War Powers Act by continuing combat without congressional approval beyond the 90-day limit. Other accusations cover actions in Yemen and Venezuela, including alleged failures to protect civilians and using power to pressure administration critics. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries previously supported impeaching Hegseth, also accusing him of abuse of power and orchestrating a military conflict with Iran.
