GOP Rep. Massie Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Secretary Hegseth
Massie says Hegseth waged war without congressional approval, and the impeachment push could reach the House floor within two legislative days.
- On Monday, Rep. Thomas Massie moved to force a House vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, pressuring fellow Republicans to decide on removing a top Trump administration official after the party's midterm election losses.

- Hegseth scheduled his first press conference in over 180 days for Tuesday to defend the Iran war as 'necessary' to confront nuclear threats, stating he is 'eager to litigate' his military policy choices.
- House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday he is a 'hard yes' on the resolution, while House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the effort as a 'terrible look' during ongoing hostilities abroad.
- Lawmakers face a six-week lame-duck sprint to finish the Republican agenda before Jan. 3, 2027, when Democrats assume control and prepare to leverage oversight powers against the administration.
