Massie Files Articles of Impeachment Against Hegseth
Rep. Thomas Massie filed a resolution Monday to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move could force a House vote by midweek.
8 articles accuse Hegseth of waging the Iran war without congressional authorization.
Other articles cite boat strikes, the Maduro capture, Yemen and Sen. Mark Kelly.
3 Republican votes joining all Democrats would pass the resolution.
About 6 in 10 voters called the Iran war the wrong decision.
Why it matters: Republicans hold the House until January, when Democrats take control of both chambers. Many in the GOP blame their midterm losses on the Iran war.
Vice President JD Vance wrote that the war was the reason Republicans lost.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis has called on President Trump to fire Hegseth.
