A Republican lawmaker has initiated proceedings to impeach US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, primarily in response to the ongoing conflict in Iran. This move comes just days after significant electoral losses for President Donald Trump’s party during the midterm elections.
Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced a total of eight articles of impeachment. These articles allege that Hegseth has engaged in military actions without the necessary congressional authorization and has abused his authority as the head of the Pentagon.
This anticipated vote in Congress is expected to attract considerable attention given the current political climate.
