Massie Files Eight Impeachment Articles Against Hegseth

Republican Representative Thomas Massie has introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and is seeking a House vote this week. The allegations include waging wars in Iran and Yemen without congressional authorization, failing to protect civilians and other abuses of power; they have not been established as findings. President Donald Trump publicly defended Hegseth, though other accounts say Trump also called him among those most responsible for the Iran war. Democrats support impeachment, but the effort faces an uncertain path in the Republican-controlled House. Separately, John Oliver criticized Hegseth’s leadership, personnel decisions and approach to civilian harm on “Last Week Tonight,” and argued he should be removed.
