Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky launches bid to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, focused mainly on the Iran war and also citing military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. The move followed an election in which a large AP Voter Poll found roughly six in ten voters thought U.S. military action against Iran was the wrong decision.

The report outlines the constitutional process and uncertainty: the House could vote, but a Senate trial would follow only if impeached; Hegseth defended the administration’s actions and the president attacked Massie.
