GOP Rep. Massie filed impeachment articles against Hegseth
Why it matters: The measure accuses the defense secretary of waging Iran hostilities for more than 90 days without Congress.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing Hegseth violated the Constitution by taking part in hostilities involving Iran without congressional authorization. Massie said Hegseth had engaged in the conflict for more than 90 days without approval from lawmakers and should be held accountable. The push faces long odds in the House, where Republicans are set to keep control of Congress until January, making removal unlikely. The filing adds to mounting political pressure on Hegseth over the administration's military posture toward Iran.
