US Republican Lawmaker Seeks Impeachment of Defence Secretary Hegseth Over Iran War
A Republican congressman, Thomas Massie, is seeking a vote in the United States House of Representatives to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over his role in the ongoing war with Iran, accusing him of violating the constitution by engaging in hostilities for more than 90 days without congressional approval. Massie formally introduced the impeachment resolution on Monday, arguing that President Donald Trump should replace Hegseth before Democrats take control of both chambers of Congress next year and begin their own impeachment proceedings. Hegseth has dismissed the threat, saying he is not worried and announcing plans to address the matter at a conference later today.
