Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to Visit Newport on Monday
Massie plans impeachment articles as Democrats back the effort and Republicans weigh whether to join them, raising the prospect of a House vote when lawmakers return.
- On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, to address students and faculty amid escalating House calls for his impeachment.
- Representative Thomas Massie plans to introduce impeachment articles, alleging Hegseth violated the law by engaging in hostilities in Iran for more than 90 days without congressional authorization.
- House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries declared he is a 'hard yes' on the resolution, citing 21 American service members killed and more than 850 wounded in the Iran conflict while accusing Hegseth of abusing his power.
- Historically, the House has impeached only two Cabinet officials, including Alejandro Mayorkas in 2024, while President Trump defended Hegseth Sunday, saying 'He's guilty of two things, basically winning two wars.'
- Republicans retain control of Congress for a six-week lame-duck period until January 3, 2027, creating a tight window for the impeachment push to proceed before the power transition.
