US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is facing possible impeachment after Republican Congressman Thomas Massie introduced a resolution to remove him from office. On Monday, Massie took the floor of the House of Representatives to accuse Hegseth of carrying out unlawful orders and contravening the United States Constitution by waging war against Iran and Venezuela, as well as systematically failing to protect civilians. He introduced eight articles of impeachment on Monday, starting a two-day countdown that could bring a vote by midweek. Top Democrats say they will support the resolution, while Hegseth has struck a defiant tone and has the backing of US President Donald Trump.
