Massie says he’ll move to impeach Hegseth if he’s not gone after midterms
Massie says the resolution includes eight articles and accuses Hegseth of war-powers violations, extrajudicial killings and other misconduct.
- On Monday, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie announced he will reintroduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth when Congress returns to Washington after the midterm elections.
- Massie introduced a resolution in September alleging Hegseth committed "high crimes and misdemeanors," but House Speaker Mike Johnson recessed the House early to avoid a floor vote on the measure.
- The articles allege Hegseth illegally started a war with Iran without congressional consent; earlier this month, Massie posted on X, "Trump should fire Hegseth to avoid Hegseth's impeachment. It."
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promised to run Hegseth "out of town" if Democrats win a majority, while Hegseth is reportedly "angling" for a Senate seat in Tennessee to avoid removal.
- Senate Democrats suggest Hegseth's ouster is the price for bipartisan cooperation on defense appropriations, as Republicans also express displeasure with his leadership regarding military personnel.
