US Defense Secretary Faces Impeachment Push Over Iran Actions

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces a potential impeachment proceeding after a motion was filed in the House of Representatives over his handling of the Iran conflict, intensifying pressure following the Republican election defeat. Republican Representative Thomas Massie introduced the impeachment resolution, accusing Hegseth of deploying forces against Iran without congressional authorization. Democratic leaders support the move, alleging power abuse and undermining national security. A House vote could occur this week, with Senate conviction requiring a two-thirds majority. Hegseth plans a press conference Tuesday, his first since May. President Trump defends him as doing a "fantastic job," while calling Massie a "loser." Massie, who lost his primary to a Trump-backed candidate, exits Congress in January.
