Republican Thomas Massie forces House vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, introduced a privileged resolution with eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday, the House's first session day after the midterms. The articles focus mainly on the Iran war and also cite U.S. strikes in Yemen, strikes on suspected drug boats, the operation to seize Nicolás Maduro, and retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly. Such resolutions must be considered within two legislative days, so a vote could come Wednesday at the latest. Leaders could move to table it or send it to committee. If the House impeaches Hegseth, the case would go to the Senate for a potential trial.
