Thomas Massie Files Resolution to Impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
The 34-page resolution cites his role in the Iran war and related military actions in Yemen and Venezuela.
- Representative Thomas Massie introduced a 34-page resolution on Monday to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, citing his conduct during the Iran war and military operations in Yemen and Venezuela.
- Vice President JD Vance claimed the Iran war cost Republicans control of Congress, fueling efforts on Capitol Hill to charge Hegseth with "high crimes and misdemeanours."
- Hegseth, holding a news conference Tuesday, has defended his actions as "historic" while facing criticism for mocking NATO allies as "freeloaders" and diminishing 457 UK personnel killed in Afghanistan.

- If the House approves, the process moves to the Senate for a trial requiring a two-thirds majority vote, while Republicans hold the majority until the new Congress convenes in January.
