Massie filed 8 impeachment articles against Hegseth over Iran war
What's next: House Republicans could bury the measure procedurally, and any Senate conviction would need a two-thirds vote.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing power, including by taking the United States into war with Iran without congressional approval or an imminent threat. The House could move on the measure this week, but Republican leaders are expected to try to block it through procedural steps or send it to committee. Republicans hold a 218-214 House majority, while the Senate is controlled 53-47 by Republicans. Even if the House impeaches Hegseth, removal would require a two-thirds Senate vote, making conviction unlikely.
