Rep. Thomas Massie files impeachment articles against Hegseth
Why it matters: The measure accuses the defense secretary of waging hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional approval.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of violating the Constitution over US military action involving Iran. Massie argued that Hegseth engaged in hostilities for more than 90 days without authorization from Congress, making him liable for impeachment. The push faces long odds in the House, where Republicans are expected to keep control until January. The filing adds to growing political pressure on Hegseth, but there is no sign the effort has enough support to remove him from office.
