US House Impeaches Defense Secretary Hegseth Over Iran War and Power Abuse

An impeachment resolution has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing the Iran war and alleged abuse of power. Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed the resolution with eight articles of impeachment, accusing Hegseth of conducting an unauthorized war, abusing his authority, detaining Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and killing drug gangs in the Caribbean without legal procedures. The move follows heavy Republican losses in the midterm elections, with a vote possible by Wednesday. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries supports the effort, while Hegseth dismissed it as a "farce" and plans a press conference Tuesday.
