Massie Files Eight Impeachment Articles Against Hegseth

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging unlawful military action in Iran and Yemen, changes to civilian-casualty policy, extrajudicial killings of suspected drug traffickers, and other abuses of power. Hegseth rejected the charges at a Pentagon news conference, calling the effort a political stunt and saying his actions were lawful; President Donald Trump praised his defense. House Speaker Mike Johnson condemned the effort and said Republicans would defeat it, while Democrats were expected to support impeachment. A House vote was expected Tuesday, but no result was reported.
