GOP Rep. Massie Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary Hegseth
- On Monday, Representative Thomas Massie reintroduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, setting up a House vote expected within two days on eight specific charges.
- Massie first proposed the resolution before midterm elections, but Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called an early recess to avoid a vote, causing the resolution to expire and prompting today's reintroduction.
- The resolution outlines eight specific charges, including three counts of illegally waging war against Iran for more than 90 days, plus allegations of capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and "extrajudicial killings" at sea.
- House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., signaled support for the impeachment push, while Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio., dismissed it as "status quo politics in Washington" and advocated leveraging the power of the purse instead.
- In a video released last Thursday, Defense Secretary Hegseth dismissed the effort as "sham articles of impeachment," stating the attempt "won't work" and comparing it to failed efforts against President Trump.
