Republican Lawmaker Files Impeachment Articles Against Defense Secretary Over Iran Military Actions
Republican Representative Thomas Massie has filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his office by overseeing military operations against Iran without congressional approval, violating the War Powers Resolution. Massie argues this undermines Congress's constitutional role and cites incidents including a deadly airstrike on an Iranian school. The Pentagon, through spokesperson Kingsley Wilson, defended Hegseth's leadership and military efforts. The impeachment move may prompt a House vote amid upcoming midterm elections but is considered unlikely to succeed.
